Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7856,1273 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7856,1273 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 846,3972
2 | 846, 3972 |
3 | 423, 1986 |
141, 662 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 141 x 662 = 560052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/560052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7856/846,1273/3972 is 1/560052
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 846,3972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,3972) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,3972) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(846,3972) = ( 846 × 3972 ) / 6
LCM(846,3972) = 3360312 / 6
LCM(846,3972) = 560052
