:1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 684,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 684,261 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,396
2 | 62, 396 |
31, 198 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 198 = 12276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/12276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 684/62,261/396 is 9/12276
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 62,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,396) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,396) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(62,396) = ( 62 × 396 ) / 2
LCM(62,396) = 24552 / 2
LCM(62,396) = 12276
