Now, list down the factors of 7104
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,37,48,64,74,96,111,148,192,222,296,444,592,888,1184,1776,2368,3552,7104
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5439,7104 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5439,7104 is 111.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,140
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 111/39060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5439/279,7104/140 is 111/39060
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 279,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,140) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,140) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,140) = ( 279 × 140 ) / 1
LCM(279,140) = 39060 / 1
LCM(279,140) = 39060
