Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 517,6644 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 517,6644 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,438
2 | 972, 438 |
3 | 486, 219 |
162, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 162 x 73 = 70956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/70956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/972,6644/438 is 11/70956
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 972,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,438) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,438) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(972,438) = ( 972 × 438 ) / 6
LCM(972,438) = 425736 / 6
LCM(972,438) = 70956
