Now, list down the factors of 1974
:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,47,94,141,282,329,658,987,1974
Now, list down the factors of 6486
:1,2,3,6,23,46,47,69,94,138,141,282,1081,2162,3243,6486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1974,6486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1974,6486 is 282.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,689
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 282/56498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1974/82,6486/689 is 282/56498
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 82,689 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,689) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,689) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,689) = ( 82 × 689 ) / 1
LCM(82,689) = 56498 / 1
LCM(82,689) = 56498
