Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8896,2436 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8896,2436 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 457,9401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4296257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4296257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8896/457,2436/9401 is 4/4296257
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 457,9401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,9401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,9401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,9401) = ( 457 × 9401 ) / 1
LCM(457,9401) = 4296257 / 1
LCM(457,9401) = 4296257
