1,2,2621,5242
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5252,5242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5252,5242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33019
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33019
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5252/89,5242/371 is 2/33019
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 89,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,371) = ( 89 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(89,371) = 33019 / 1
LCM(89,371) = 33019
