Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2743,2007 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2743,2007 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 470,172
2 | 470, 172 |
235, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 235 x 86 = 40420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2743/470,2007/172 is 1/40420
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 470,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(470,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(470,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(470,172) = ( 470 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(470,172) = 80840 / 2
LCM(470,172) = 40420
