Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3036,7222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3036,7222 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,518
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/44030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3036/85,7222/518 is 46/44030
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 85,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,518) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,518) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,518) = ( 85 × 518 ) / 1
LCM(85,518) = 44030 / 1
LCM(85,518) = 44030
