Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5541,8949 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5541,8949 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 863,1421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1226323
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1226323
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5541/863,8949/1421 is 3/1226323
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 863,1421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(863,1421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(863,1421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(863,1421) = ( 863 × 1421 ) / 1
LCM(863,1421) = 1226323 / 1
LCM(863,1421) = 1226323
