Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1096,3330 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1096,3330 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1096/42,3330/457 is 2/19194
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 42,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,457) = ( 42 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(42,457) = 19194 / 1
LCM(42,457) = 19194
