Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 994,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 994,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4967,4227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20995509
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20995509
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/4967,346/4227 is 2/20995509
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 4967,4227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4967,4227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4967,4227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4967,4227) = ( 4967 × 4227 ) / 1
LCM(4967,4227) = 20995509 / 1
LCM(4967,4227) = 20995509
