1,3,5,15,433,1299,2165,6495
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 475,6495 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 475,6495 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,636
3 | 45, 636 |
15, 212 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 15 x 212 = 9540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/9540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/45,6495/636 is 5/9540
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 45,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,636) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,636) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(45,636) = ( 45 × 636 ) / 3
LCM(45,636) = 28620 / 3
LCM(45,636) = 9540
