Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8287,6427 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8287,6427 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 346,972
2 | 346, 972 |
173, 486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 173 x 486 = 168156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8287/346,6427/972 is 1/168156
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 346,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(346,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(346,972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(346,972) = ( 346 × 972 ) / 2
LCM(346,972) = 336312 / 2
LCM(346,972) = 168156
