Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6952,3634 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6952,3634 is 158.
Lets's calculate LCM of 828,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 158/149868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6952/828,3634/181 is 158/149868
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 828,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(828,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(828,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(828,181) = ( 828 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(828,181) = 149868 / 1
LCM(828,181) = 149868
