Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4662,4872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4662,4872 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 624,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 607152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/607152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4662/624,4872/973 is 42/607152
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 624,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(624,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(624,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(624,973) = ( 624 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(624,973) = 607152 / 1
LCM(624,973) = 607152
