Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5975,5911 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5975,5911 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,6009
3 | 378, 6009 |
126, 2003 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 126 x 2003 = 757134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/757134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5975/378,5911/6009 is 1/757134
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 378,6009 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,6009) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,6009) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(378,6009) = ( 378 × 6009 ) / 3
LCM(378,6009) = 2271402 / 3
LCM(378,6009) = 757134
