Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9737,5442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9737,5442 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 381,783
3 | 381, 783 |
127, 261 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 127 x 261 = 99441
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/99441
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9737/381,5442/783 is 1/99441
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 381,783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,783) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,783) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(381,783) = ( 381 × 783 ) / 3
LCM(381,783) = 298323 / 3
LCM(381,783) = 99441
