Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3378,8728 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3378,8728 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,146
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3378/21,8728/146 is 2/3066
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 21,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,146) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,146) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,146) = ( 21 × 146 ) / 1
LCM(21,146) = 3066 / 1
LCM(21,146) = 3066
