1,2,1471,2942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6062,2942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6062,2942 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,723
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6062/44,2942/723 is 2/31812
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 44,723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,723) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,723) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,723) = ( 44 × 723 ) / 1
LCM(44,723) = 31812 / 1
LCM(44,723) = 31812
