Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5242,4152 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5242,4152 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,428
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5242/63,4152/428 is 2/26964
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 63,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,428) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,428) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,428) = ( 63 × 428 ) / 1
LCM(63,428) = 26964 / 1
LCM(63,428) = 26964
