Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 210,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 210,537 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,626
2 | 42, 626 |
21, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 313 = 13146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/13146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 210/42,537/626 is 3/13146
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 42,626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,626) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,626) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,626) = ( 42 × 626 ) / 2
LCM(42,626) = 26292 / 2
LCM(42,626) = 13146
