Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 474,446 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 474,446 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 6461,7387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47727407
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47727407
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/6461,446/7387 is 2/47727407
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 6461,7387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(6461,7387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(6461,7387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(6461,7387) = ( 6461 × 7387 ) / 1
LCM(6461,7387) = 47727407 / 1
LCM(6461,7387) = 47727407
