Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,1998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,1998 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,7222
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5683714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/5683714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/787,1998/7222 is 6/5683714
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 787,7222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,7222) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,7222) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,7222) = ( 787 × 7222 ) / 1
LCM(787,7222) = 5683714 / 1
LCM(787,7222) = 5683714
