Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 168,9012 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 168,9012 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,7124
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3540628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3540628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/497,9012/7124 is 12/3540628
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 497,7124 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,7124) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,7124) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,7124) = ( 497 × 7124 ) / 1
LCM(497,7124) = 3540628 / 1
LCM(497,7124) = 3540628
