1,5399
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3972,5399 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3972,5399 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,9218
2 | 252, 9218 |
126, 4609 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 126 x 4609 = 1161468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1161468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3972/252,5399/9218 is 1/1161468
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 252,9218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,9218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,9218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(252,9218) = ( 252 × 9218 ) / 2
LCM(252,9218) = 2322936 / 2
LCM(252,9218) = 1161468
