Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9138,7478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9138,7478 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/25622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9138/46,7478/557 is 2/25622
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 46,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,557) = ( 46 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(46,557) = 25622 / 1
LCM(46,557) = 25622
