Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 711,216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 711,216 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 117,949
13 | 117, 949 |
9, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 9 x 73 = 8541
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/8541
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 711/117,216/949 is 9/8541
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 117,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,949) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,949) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(117,949) = ( 117 × 949 ) / 13
LCM(117,949) = 111033 / 13
LCM(117,949) = 8541
