Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,4596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,4596 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 352,2117
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 745184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/745184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/352,4596/2117 is 12/745184
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 352,2117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,2117) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,2117) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(352,2117) = ( 352 × 2117 ) / 1
LCM(352,2117) = 745184 / 1
LCM(352,2117) = 745184
