Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,936 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 782,799
17 | 782, 799 |
46, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 46 x 47 = 36754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/36754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/782,936/799 is 24/36754
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 782,799 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(782,799) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(782,799) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(782,799) = ( 782 × 799 ) / 17
LCM(782,799) = 624818 / 17
LCM(782,799) = 36754
