Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4048,3952 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4048,3952 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/12814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4048/86,3952/149 is 16/12814
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 86,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(86,149) = ( 86 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(86,149) = 12814 / 1
LCM(86,149) = 12814
