Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7206,3002 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7206,3002 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 299,3579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1070121
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1070121
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7206/299,3002/3579 is 2/1070121
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 299,3579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,3579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,3579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,3579) = ( 299 × 3579 ) / 1
LCM(299,3579) = 1070121 / 1
LCM(299,3579) = 1070121
