Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 686,9513 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 686,9513 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,249
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/9960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 686/40,9513/249 is 7/9960
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 40,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,249) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,249) = ( 40 × 249 ) / 1
LCM(40,249) = 9960 / 1
LCM(40,249) = 9960
