Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4256,8224 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4256,8224 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/75894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4256/78,8224/973 is 32/75894
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 78,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,973) = ( 78 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(78,973) = 75894 / 1
LCM(78,973) = 75894
