Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4301,5321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4301,5321 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,669
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/34788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4301/52,5321/669 is 17/34788
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 52,669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,669) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,669) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,669) = ( 52 × 669 ) / 1
LCM(52,669) = 34788 / 1
LCM(52,669) = 34788
