Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6993,5488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6993,5488 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,402
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17286
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/17286
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6993/43,5488/402 is 7/17286
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 43,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,402) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,402) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,402) = ( 43 × 402 ) / 1
LCM(43,402) = 17286 / 1
LCM(43,402) = 17286
