Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7302,1338 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7302,1338 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,974
2 | 58, 974 |
29, 487 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 487 = 28246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/28246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7302/58,1338/974 is 6/28246
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 58,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,974) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,974) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,974) = ( 58 × 974 ) / 2
LCM(58,974) = 56492 / 2
LCM(58,974) = 28246
