Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 872,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 872,538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4357,9218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40162826
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/40162826
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/4357,538/9218 is 2/40162826
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 4357,9218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4357,9218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4357,9218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4357,9218) = ( 4357 × 9218 ) / 1
LCM(4357,9218) = 40162826 / 1
LCM(4357,9218) = 40162826
