Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5520,3490 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5520,3490 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,1946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 819266
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/819266
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5520/421,3490/1946 is 10/819266
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 421,1946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,1946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,1946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,1946) = ( 421 × 1946 ) / 1
LCM(421,1946) = 819266 / 1
LCM(421,1946) = 819266
