We found the factors 483,369 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 483,369 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,5637
3 | 87, 5637 |
29, 1879 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 1879 = 163473
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/163473
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 483/87,369/5637 is 3/163473
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 87,5637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,5637) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,5637) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,5637) = ( 87 × 5637 ) / 3
LCM(87,5637) = 490419 / 3
LCM(87,5637) = 163473
