Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5932,1620 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5932,1620 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,162
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/7938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5932/49,1620/162 is 4/7938
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 49,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,162) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,162) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,162) = ( 49 × 162 ) / 1
LCM(49,162) = 7938 / 1
LCM(49,162) = 7938
