Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6969,3753 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6969,3753 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,529
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/21160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6969/40,3753/529 is 3/21160
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 40,529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,529) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,529) = ( 40 × 529 ) / 1
LCM(40,529) = 21160 / 1
LCM(40,529) = 21160
