Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7024,3740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7024,3740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21543
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/21543
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7024/43,3740/501 is 4/21543
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 43,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,501) = ( 43 × 501 ) / 1
LCM(43,501) = 21543 / 1
LCM(43,501) = 21543
