:1,3,9,27,103,309,927,2781
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5727,2781 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5727,2781 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,906
| 2 | 42, 906 |
| 3 | 21, 453 |
| 7, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 151 = 6342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5727/42,2781/906 is 3/6342
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 42,906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,906) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,906) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(42,906) = ( 42 × 906 ) / 6
LCM(42,906) = 38052 / 6
LCM(42,906) = 6342
