Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7638,7686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7638,7686 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,6317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1086524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1086524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7638/172,7686/6317 is 6/1086524
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 172,6317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,6317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,6317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,6317) = ( 172 × 6317 ) / 1
LCM(172,6317) = 1086524 / 1
LCM(172,6317) = 1086524
