Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 891,423 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 891,423 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4265,5558
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23704870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/23704870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/4265,423/5558 is 9/23704870
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 4265,5558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4265,5558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4265,5558) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4265,5558) = ( 4265 × 5558 ) / 1
LCM(4265,5558) = 23704870 / 1
LCM(4265,5558) = 23704870
