Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 572,737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 572,737 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,609
3 | 12, 609 |
4, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 203 = 2436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/2436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/12,737/609 is 11/2436
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 12,609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,609) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,609) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,609) = ( 12 × 609 ) / 3
LCM(12,609) = 7308 / 3
LCM(12,609) = 2436
