Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2446,1986 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2446,1986 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,4996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1403876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1403876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2446/281,1986/4996 is 2/1403876
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 281,4996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,4996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,4996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,4996) = ( 281 × 4996 ) / 1
LCM(281,4996) = 1403876 / 1
LCM(281,4996) = 1403876
