Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5783,5687 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5783,5687 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,362
2 | 972, 362 |
486, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 486 x 181 = 175932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5783/972,5687/362 is 1/175932
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 972,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(972,362) = ( 972 × 362 ) / 2
LCM(972,362) = 351864 / 2
LCM(972,362) = 175932
