Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 400,948 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 400,948 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1153,5214
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6011742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/6011742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 400/1153,948/5214 is 4/6011742
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 1153,5214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1153,5214) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1153,5214) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1153,5214) = ( 1153 × 5214 ) / 1
LCM(1153,5214) = 6011742 / 1
LCM(1153,5214) = 6011742
