Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7356,7980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7356,7980 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 568,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 537896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/537896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7356/568,7980/947 is 12/537896
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 568,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(568,947) = ( 568 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(568,947) = 537896 / 1
LCM(568,947) = 537896
