Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4991,7721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4991,7721 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,1000
2 | 372, 1000 |
2 | 186, 500 |
93, 250 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 93 x 250 = 93000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/93000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4991/372,7721/1000 is 7/93000
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 372,1000 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,1000) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,1000) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(372,1000) = ( 372 × 1000 ) / 4
LCM(372,1000) = 372000 / 4
LCM(372,1000) = 93000
