Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7547,6877 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7547,6877 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,738
2 | 48, 738 |
3 | 24, 369 |
8, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 8 x 123 = 5904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7547/48,6877/738 is 1/5904
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 48,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,738) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,738) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(48,738) = ( 48 × 738 ) / 6
LCM(48,738) = 35424 / 6
LCM(48,738) = 5904
