1,2,5,10,739,1478,3695,7390
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5600,7390 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5600,7390 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 843,142
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/119706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5600/843,7390/142 is 10/119706
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 843,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,142) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(843,142) = ( 843 × 142 ) / 1
LCM(843,142) = 119706 / 1
LCM(843,142) = 119706
