1,2,1873,3746
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 470,3746 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 470,3746 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,575
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/81650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/142,3746/575 is 2/81650
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 142,575 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,575) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,575) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,575) = ( 142 × 575 ) / 1
LCM(142,575) = 81650 / 1
LCM(142,575) = 81650
