:1,2,3,6,101,202,303,606
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 252,606 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 252,606 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/23264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/32,606/727 is 6/23264
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 32,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,727) = ( 32 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(32,727) = 23264 / 1
LCM(32,727) = 23264
