Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7356,7002 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7356,7002 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 128249
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/128249
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7356/131,7002/979 is 6/128249
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 131,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,979) = ( 131 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(131,979) = 128249 / 1
LCM(131,979) = 128249
