Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5253,1965 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5253,1965 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7943
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7943
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5253/47,1965/169 is 3/7943
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 47,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,169) = ( 47 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(47,169) = 7943 / 1
LCM(47,169) = 7943
