Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 968,341 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,341 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 7147,5118
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36578346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/36578346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/7147,341/5118 is 11/36578346
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 7147,5118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7147,5118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7147,5118) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(7147,5118) = ( 7147 × 5118 ) / 1
LCM(7147,5118) = 36578346 / 1
LCM(7147,5118) = 36578346
