So the greatest common factor 272,9982 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,3613
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1029705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1029705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 272/285,9982/3613 is 2/1029705
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 285,3613 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,3613) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,3613) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,3613) = ( 285 × 3613 ) / 1
LCM(285,3613) = 1029705 / 1
LCM(285,3613) = 1029705
