1,2,4211,8422
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2548,8422 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2548,8422 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2548/71,8422/342 is 2/24282
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 71,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,342) = ( 71 × 342 ) / 1
LCM(71,342) = 24282 / 1
LCM(71,342) = 24282
