Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1800,6984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1800,6984 is 72.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,2686
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 770882
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 72/770882
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1800/287,6984/2686 is 72/770882
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 287,2686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,2686) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,2686) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,2686) = ( 287 × 2686 ) / 1
LCM(287,2686) = 770882 / 1
LCM(287,2686) = 770882
