Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4836,9964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4836,9964 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,423
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/21996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4836/52,9964/423 is 4/21996
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 52,423 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,423) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,423) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,423) = ( 52 × 423 ) / 1
LCM(52,423) = 21996 / 1
LCM(52,423) = 21996
