Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 421,4172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 421,4172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 310,8865
5 | 310, 8865 |
62, 1773 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 62 x 1773 = 549630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/549630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 421/310,4172/8865 is 1/549630
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 310,8865 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(310,8865) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(310,8865) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(310,8865) = ( 310 × 8865 ) / 5
LCM(310,8865) = 2748150 / 5
LCM(310,8865) = 549630
