We found the factors 5236,7884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5236,7884 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 325,2187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 710775
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/710775
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5236/325,7884/2187 is 4/710775
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 325,2187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(325,2187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(325,2187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(325,2187) = ( 325 × 2187 ) / 1
LCM(325,2187) = 710775 / 1
LCM(325,2187) = 710775
