We found the factors 786,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 786,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3201,1532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4903932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4903932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 786/3201,238/1532 is 2/4903932
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 3201,1532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3201,1532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3201,1532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3201,1532) = ( 3201 × 1532 ) / 1
LCM(3201,1532) = 4903932 / 1
LCM(3201,1532) = 4903932
