:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,47,54,94,141,282,423,846,1269,2538
Now, list down the factors of 6876
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36,191,382,573,764,1146,1719,2292,3438,6876
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2538,6876 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2538,6876 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 143,1807
13 | 143, 1807 |
11, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 11 x 139 = 19877
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/19877
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2538/143,6876/1807 is 18/19877
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 143,1807 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,1807) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,1807) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(143,1807) = ( 143 × 1807 ) / 13
LCM(143,1807) = 258401 / 13
LCM(143,1807) = 19877
