We found the factors 8972,9756 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8972,9756 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 446,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 107486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/107486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8972/446,9756/241 is 4/107486
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 446,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(446,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(446,241) = ( 446 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(446,241) = 107486 / 1
LCM(446,241) = 107486
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
