Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4988,9604 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4988,9604 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 461,968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 446248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/446248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4988/461,9604/968 is 4/446248
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 461,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(461,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(461,968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(461,968) = ( 461 × 968 ) / 1
LCM(461,968) = 446248 / 1
LCM(461,968) = 446248
