1,2,7,14,109,218,763,1526
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8721,1526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8721,1526 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,486
3 | 57, 486 |
19, 162 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 162 = 9234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8721/57,1526/486 is 1/9234
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 57,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,486) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,486) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(57,486) = ( 57 × 486 ) / 3
LCM(57,486) = 27702 / 3
LCM(57,486) = 9234
