1,2,7,14,281,562,1967,3934
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5446,3934 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5446,3934 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40753
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/40753
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5446/83,3934/491 is 14/40753
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 83,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,491) = ( 83 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(83,491) = 40753 / 1
LCM(83,491) = 40753
