Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3962,7893 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3962,7893 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,551
29 | 174, 551 |
6, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 6 x 19 = 3306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3962/174,7893/551 is 1/3306
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 174,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,551) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,551) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(174,551) = ( 174 × 551 ) / 29
LCM(174,551) = 95874 / 29
LCM(174,551) = 3306
