1,3,9,27,81,89,267,801,2403,7209
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4889,7209 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4889,7209 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 768,942
2 | 768, 942 |
3 | 384, 471 |
128, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 128 x 157 = 120576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4889/768,7209/942 is 1/120576
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 768,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(768,942) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(768,942) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(768,942) = ( 768 × 942 ) / 6
LCM(768,942) = 723456 / 6
LCM(768,942) = 120576
