Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6144,6356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6144,6356 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,536
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/12328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6144/23,6356/536 is 4/12328
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 23,536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,536) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,536) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,536) = ( 23 × 536 ) / 1
LCM(23,536) = 12328 / 1
LCM(23,536) = 12328
