We found the factors 7857,4758 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7857,4758 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,186
2 | 472, 186 |
236, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 236 x 93 = 43896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/43896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7857/472,4758/186 is 3/43896
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 472,186 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,186) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,186) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(472,186) = ( 472 × 186 ) / 2
LCM(472,186) = 87792 / 2
LCM(472,186) = 43896
