Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7432,6864 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7432,6864 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 663,3176
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2105688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2105688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7432/663,6864/3176 is 8/2105688
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 663,3176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(663,3176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(663,3176) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(663,3176) = ( 663 × 3176 ) / 1
LCM(663,3176) = 2105688 / 1
LCM(663,3176) = 2105688
