Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6877,2173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6877,2173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 104,596
2 | 104, 596 |
2 | 52, 298 |
26, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 26 x 149 = 15496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6877/104,2173/596 is 1/15496
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 104,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(104,596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(104,596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(104,596) = ( 104 × 596 ) / 4
LCM(104,596) = 61984 / 4
LCM(104,596) = 15496
