So the greatest common factor 187,459 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,7544
2 | 14, 7544 |
7, 3772 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 3772 = 52808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/52808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/14,459/7544 is 17/52808
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 14,7544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,7544) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,7544) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(14,7544) = ( 14 × 7544 ) / 2
LCM(14,7544) = 105616 / 2
LCM(14,7544) = 52808
