Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7380,6725 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7380,6725 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,978
2 | 52, 978 |
26, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 26 x 489 = 25428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/25428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7380/52,6725/978 is 5/25428
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 52,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(52,978) = ( 52 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(52,978) = 50856 / 2
LCM(52,978) = 25428
