Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5902,5842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5902,5842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,490
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5902/27,5842/490 is 2/13230
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 27,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,490) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,490) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,490) = ( 27 × 490 ) / 1
LCM(27,490) = 13230 / 1
LCM(27,490) = 13230
