Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 882,6020 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,6020 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,189
3 | 42, 189 |
7 | 14, 63 |
2, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 2 x 9 = 378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/42,6020/189 is 14/378
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 42,189 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,189) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,189) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(42,189) = ( 42 × 189 ) / 21
LCM(42,189) = 7938 / 21
LCM(42,189) = 378
