Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 420,6756 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 420,6756 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 528339
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/528339
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/973,6756/543 is 12/528339
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 973,543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,543) = ( 973 × 543 ) / 1
LCM(973,543) = 528339 / 1
LCM(973,543) = 528339
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
