1,2,4639,9278
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6896,9278 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6896,9278 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,993
3 | 12, 993 |
4, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 331 = 3972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6896/12,9278/993 is 2/3972
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 12,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,993) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,993) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,993) = ( 12 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(12,993) = 11916 / 3
LCM(12,993) = 3972
