Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6951,6237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6951,6237 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/34510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6951/70,6237/493 is 21/34510
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 70,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,493) = ( 70 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(70,493) = 34510 / 1
LCM(70,493) = 34510
