1,2,3,6,9,17,18,27,34,51,54,102,153,306,459,918
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 807,918 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 807,918 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,2000
2 | 72, 2000 |
2 | 36, 1000 |
2 | 18, 500 |
9, 250 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 250 = 18000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 807/72,918/2000 is 3/18000
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 72,2000 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,2000) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,2000) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,2000) = ( 72 × 2000 ) / 8
LCM(72,2000) = 144000 / 8
LCM(72,2000) = 18000
