Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7428,3444 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7428,3444 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/65526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7428/67,3444/978 is 12/65526
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 67,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,978) = ( 67 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(67,978) = 65526 / 1
LCM(67,978) = 65526
