So the greatest common factor 8937,4656 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,792
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/56232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8937/71,4656/792 is 3/56232
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 71,792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,792) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,792) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,792) = ( 71 × 792 ) / 1
LCM(71,792) = 56232 / 1
LCM(71,792) = 56232
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
