Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5386,4560 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5386,4560 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,632
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5386/37,4560/632 is 2/23384
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 37,632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,632) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,632) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,632) = ( 37 × 632 ) / 1
LCM(37,632) = 23384 / 1
LCM(37,632) = 23384
