Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 900,575 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 900,575 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,7132
2 | 12, 7132 |
2 | 6, 3566 |
3, 1783 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 1783 = 21396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/21396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/12,575/7132 is 25/21396
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 12,7132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,7132) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,7132) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(12,7132) = ( 12 × 7132 ) / 4
LCM(12,7132) = 85584 / 4
LCM(12,7132) = 21396
