Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 882,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,168 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,2793
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 262542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/262542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/94,168/2793 is 42/262542
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 94,2793 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,2793) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,2793) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(94,2793) = ( 94 × 2793 ) / 1
LCM(94,2793) = 262542 / 1
LCM(94,2793) = 262542
