1,2,1571,3142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9400,3142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9400,3142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9400/76,3142/541 is 2/41116
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 76,541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(76,541) = ( 76 × 541 ) / 1
LCM(76,541) = 41116 / 1
LCM(76,541) = 41116
