Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 702,5442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 702,5442 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,855
3 | 18, 855 |
3 | 6, 285 |
2, 95 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 2 x 95 = 1710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/18,5442/855 is 6/1710
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 18,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,855) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,855) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(18,855) = ( 18 × 855 ) / 9
LCM(18,855) = 15390 / 9
LCM(18,855) = 1710
