Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9742,4461 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9742,4461 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 638,952
2 | 638, 952 |
319, 476 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 319 x 476 = 303688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/303688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9742/638,4461/952 is 1/303688
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 638,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,952) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,952) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(638,952) = ( 638 × 952 ) / 2
LCM(638,952) = 607376 / 2
LCM(638,952) = 303688
