1,2,2087,4174
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4736,4174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4736,4174 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11286
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11286
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4736/38,4174/297 is 2/11286
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 38,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,297) = ( 38 × 297 ) / 1
LCM(38,297) = 11286 / 1
LCM(38,297) = 11286
