Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4498,1406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4498,1406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4498/13,1406/946 is 2/12298
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 13,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,946) = ( 13 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(13,946) = 12298 / 1
LCM(13,946) = 12298
