We found the factors 402,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 402,172 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9060,3858
2 | 9060, 3858 |
3 | 4530, 1929 |
1510, 643 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 1510 x 643 = 5825580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5825580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 402/9060,172/3858 is 2/5825580
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 9060,3858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9060,3858) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9060,3858) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(9060,3858) = ( 9060 × 3858 ) / 6
LCM(9060,3858) = 34953480 / 6
LCM(9060,3858) = 5825580
