Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8401,5896 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8401,5896 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 274,663
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/181662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8401/274,5896/663 is 1/181662
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 274,663 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,663) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,663) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(274,663) = ( 274 × 663 ) / 1
LCM(274,663) = 181662 / 1
LCM(274,663) = 181662
