1,3,83,249
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 244,249 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 244,249 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8401,4588
31 | 8401, 4588 |
271, 148 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 271 x 148 = 1243348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1243348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 244/8401,249/4588 is 1/1243348
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 8401,4588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8401,4588) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8401,4588) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(8401,4588) = ( 8401 × 4588 ) / 31
LCM(8401,4588) = 38543788 / 31
LCM(8401,4588) = 1243348
