1,3,2657,7971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6906,7971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6906,7971 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 507,406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 205842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/205842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6906/507,7971/406 is 3/205842
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 507,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(507,406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(507,406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(507,406) = ( 507 × 406 ) / 1
LCM(507,406) = 205842 / 1
LCM(507,406) = 205842
