Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8655,8554 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8655,8554 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,972
2 | 40, 972 |
2 | 20, 486 |
10, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 243 = 9720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8655/40,8554/972 is 1/9720
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 40,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,972) = ( 40 × 972 ) / 4
LCM(40,972) = 38880 / 4
LCM(40,972) = 9720
