Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7254,1980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7254,1980 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,754
2 | 236, 754 |
118, 377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 118 x 377 = 88972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/88972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7254/236,1980/754 is 18/88972
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 236,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,754) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,754) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(236,754) = ( 236 × 754 ) / 2
LCM(236,754) = 177944 / 2
LCM(236,754) = 88972
