Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8928,1444 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8928,1444 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/34918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8928/79,1444/442 is 4/34918
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 79,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,442) = ( 79 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(79,442) = 34918 / 1
LCM(79,442) = 34918
