1,11,409,4499
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4201,4499 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4201,4499 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 302,1078
2 | 302, 1078 |
151, 539 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 151 x 539 = 162778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/162778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4201/302,4499/1078 is 1/162778
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 302,1078 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(302,1078) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(302,1078) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(302,1078) = ( 302 × 1078 ) / 2
LCM(302,1078) = 325556 / 2
LCM(302,1078) = 162778
