We found the factors 242,4378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 242,4378 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 371,4828
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1791188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/1791188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/371,4378/4828 is 22/1791188
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 371,4828 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,4828) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,4828) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,4828) = ( 371 × 4828 ) / 1
LCM(371,4828) = 1791188 / 1
LCM(371,4828) = 1791188
