Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5646,7992 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5646,7992 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41031
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/41031
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5646/47,7992/873 is 6/41031
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 47,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,873) = ( 47 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(47,873) = 41031 / 1
LCM(47,873) = 41031
