1,2,977,1954
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4970,1954 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4970,1954 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,6272
7 | 231, 6272 |
33, 896 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 33 x 896 = 206976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/206976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4970/231,1954/6272 is 2/206976
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 231,6272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,6272) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,6272) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(231,6272) = ( 231 × 6272 ) / 7
LCM(231,6272) = 1448832 / 7
LCM(231,6272) = 206976
