1,2,3,6,9,18,163,326,489,978,1467,2934
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7179,2934 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7179,2934 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,890
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7179/13,2934/890 is 3/11570
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 13,890 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,890) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,890) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,890) = ( 13 × 890 ) / 1
LCM(13,890) = 11570 / 1
LCM(13,890) = 11570
