1,2,4,8,16,499,998,1996,3992,7984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6003,7984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6003,7984 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,604
2 | 36, 604 |
2 | 18, 302 |
9, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 9 x 151 = 5436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6003/36,7984/604 is 1/5436
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 36,604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,604) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,604) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(36,604) = ( 36 × 604 ) / 4
LCM(36,604) = 21744 / 4
LCM(36,604) = 5436
