:1,3,19,57,131,393,2489,7467
Now, list down the factors of 9170
:1,2,5,7,10,14,35,70,131,262,655,917,1310,1834,4585,9170
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7467,9170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7467,9170 is 131.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,252
2 | 402, 252 |
3 | 201, 126 |
67, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 67 x 42 = 16884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 131/16884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7467/402,9170/252 is 131/16884
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 402,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,252) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,252) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(402,252) = ( 402 × 252 ) / 6
LCM(402,252) = 101304 / 6
LCM(402,252) = 16884
