Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 875,6587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 875,6587 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,987
47 | 94, 987 |
2, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 47 x 2 x 21 = 1974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/94,6587/987 is 7/1974
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 94,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,987) = 47
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,987) x common factors =47 x 1 = 47
LCM(94,987) = ( 94 × 987 ) / 47
LCM(94,987) = 92778 / 47
LCM(94,987) = 1974
