Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5729,7854 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5729,7854 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,266
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/8246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5729/31,7854/266 is 17/8246
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 31,266 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,266) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,266) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,266) = ( 31 × 266 ) / 1
LCM(31,266) = 8246 / 1
LCM(31,266) = 8246
