Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5744,3973 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5744,3973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5744/396,3973/281 is 1/111276
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 396,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(396,281) = ( 396 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(396,281) = 111276 / 1
LCM(396,281) = 111276
