Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 54,5242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 54,5242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 349,4253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1484297
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1484297
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/349,5242/4253 is 2/1484297
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 349,4253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,4253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,4253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,4253) = ( 349 × 4253 ) / 1
LCM(349,4253) = 1484297 / 1
LCM(349,4253) = 1484297
