Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2384,4308 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2384,4308 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5473
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5473
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2384/13,4308/421 is 4/5473
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 13,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,421) = ( 13 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(13,421) = 5473 / 1
LCM(13,421) = 5473
