Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6976,4998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6976,4998 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,702
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6976/53,4998/702 is 2/37206
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 53,702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,702) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,702) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,702) = ( 53 × 702 ) / 1
LCM(53,702) = 37206 / 1
LCM(53,702) = 37206
