1,2927
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 375,2927 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 375,2927 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 438,974
2 | 438, 974 |
219, 487 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 219 x 487 = 213306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/213306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/438,2927/974 is 1/213306
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 438,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(438,974) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(438,974) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(438,974) = ( 438 × 974 ) / 2
LCM(438,974) = 426612 / 2
LCM(438,974) = 213306
