Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4712,2924 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4712,2924 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4712/48,2924/121 is 4/5808
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 48,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,121) = ( 48 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(48,121) = 5808 / 1
LCM(48,121) = 5808
