Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,362 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,362 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,2757
3 | 99, 2757 |
33, 919 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 33 x 919 = 90981
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/90981
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/99,362/2757 is 1/90981
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 99,2757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,2757) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,2757) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(99,2757) = ( 99 × 2757 ) / 3
LCM(99,2757) = 272943 / 3
LCM(99,2757) = 90981
