Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7987,7994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7987,7994 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,756
2 | 56, 756 |
2 | 28, 378 |
7 | 14, 189 |
2, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 2 x 27 = 1512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7987/56,7994/756 is 7/1512
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 56,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,756) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,756) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(56,756) = ( 56 × 756 ) / 28
LCM(56,756) = 42336 / 28
LCM(56,756) = 1512
