We found the factors 882,2960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,2960 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 114,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 82194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/82194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/114,2960/721 is 2/82194
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 114,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(114,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(114,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(114,721) = ( 114 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(114,721) = 82194 / 1
LCM(114,721) = 82194
