1,281
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 638,281 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 638,281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 7372,8662
2 | 7372, 8662 |
3686, 4331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3686 x 4331 = 31928132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31928132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 638/7372,281/8662 is 1/31928132
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 7372,8662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7372,8662) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7372,8662) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(7372,8662) = ( 7372 × 8662 ) / 2
LCM(7372,8662) = 63856264 / 2
LCM(7372,8662) = 31928132
