Now, list down the factors of 3600
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20,24,25,30,36,40,45,48,50,60,72,75,80,90,100,120,144,150,180,200,225,240,300,360,400,450,600,720,900,1200,1800,3600
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9873,3600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9873,3600 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,166
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/7802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9873/47,3600/166 is 9/7802
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 47,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,166) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,166) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,166) = ( 47 × 166 ) / 1
LCM(47,166) = 7802 / 1
LCM(47,166) = 7802
