1,2,2039,4078
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2844,4078 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2844,4078 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,476
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2844/71,4078/476 is 2/33796
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 71,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,476) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,476) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,476) = ( 71 × 476 ) / 1
LCM(71,476) = 33796 / 1
LCM(71,476) = 33796
