Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 112,3966 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 112,3966 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,3218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1792426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1792426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 112/557,3966/3218 is 2/1792426
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 557,3218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,3218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,3218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,3218) = ( 557 × 3218 ) / 1
LCM(557,3218) = 1792426 / 1
LCM(557,3218) = 1792426
