Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3940,5400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3940,5400 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 949,4502
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4272398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/4272398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3940/949,5400/4502 is 20/4272398
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 949,4502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,4502) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,4502) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,4502) = ( 949 × 4502 ) / 1
LCM(949,4502) = 4272398 / 1
LCM(949,4502) = 4272398
