Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1142,9960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1142,9960 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,529
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14283
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14283
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1142/27,9960/529 is 2/14283
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 27,529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,529) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,529) = ( 27 × 529 ) / 1
LCM(27,529) = 14283 / 1
LCM(27,529) = 14283
