Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8374,8851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8374,8851 is 53.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/15888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8374/48,8851/331 is 53/15888
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 48,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,331) = ( 48 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(48,331) = 15888 / 1
LCM(48,331) = 15888
