Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5172,2940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5172,2940 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23119
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/23119
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5172/61,2940/379 is 12/23119
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 61,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,379) = ( 61 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(61,379) = 23119 / 1
LCM(61,379) = 23119
