1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 155,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 155,556 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4642,7254
2 | 4642, 7254 |
2321, 3627 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2321 x 3627 = 16836534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16836534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/4642,556/7254 is 1/16836534
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 4642,7254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4642,7254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4642,7254) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(4642,7254) = ( 4642 × 7254 ) / 2
LCM(4642,7254) = 33673068 / 2
LCM(4642,7254) = 16836534
