Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6994,3530 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6994,3530 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,134
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7102
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7102
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6994/53,3530/134 is 2/7102
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 53,134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,134) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,134) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,134) = ( 53 × 134 ) / 1
LCM(53,134) = 7102 / 1
LCM(53,134) = 7102
