1,2,7,14,71,142,497,994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 660,994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 660,994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,627
3 | 78, 627 |
26, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 209 = 16302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/78,994/627 is 2/16302
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 78,627 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,627) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,627) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(78,627) = ( 78 × 627 ) / 3
LCM(78,627) = 48906 / 3
LCM(78,627) = 16302
