Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3556,1848 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3556,1848 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 405,892
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 361260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/361260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3556/405,1848/892 is 28/361260
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 405,892 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(405,892) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(405,892) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(405,892) = ( 405 × 892 ) / 1
LCM(405,892) = 361260 / 1
LCM(405,892) = 361260
