Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,872 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9439,1398
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13195722
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/13195722
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/9439,872/1398 is 4/13195722
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 9439,1398 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9439,1398) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9439,1398) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(9439,1398) = ( 9439 × 1398 ) / 1
LCM(9439,1398) = 13195722 / 1
LCM(9439,1398) = 13195722
