Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4974,8758 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4974,8758 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4974/30,8758/491 is 2/14730
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 30,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(30,491) = ( 30 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(30,491) = 14730 / 1
LCM(30,491) = 14730
