We found the factors 7524,8961 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7524,8961 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 774,4158
2 | 774, 4158 |
3 | 387, 2079 |
3 | 129, 693 |
43, 231 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 43 x 231 = 178794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/178794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7524/774,8961/4158 is 3/178794
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 774,4158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(774,4158) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(774,4158) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(774,4158) = ( 774 × 4158 ) / 18
LCM(774,4158) = 3218292 / 18
LCM(774,4158) = 178794
