Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2835,6156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2835,6156 is 81.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 191484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 81/191484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2835/972,6156/197 is 81/191484
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 972,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(972,197) = ( 972 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(972,197) = 191484 / 1
LCM(972,197) = 191484
