:1,2,23,46,47,94,1081,2162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1218,2162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1218,2162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,627
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 277761
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/277761
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/443,2162/627 is 2/277761
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 443,627 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,627) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,627) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,627) = ( 443 × 627 ) / 1
LCM(443,627) = 277761 / 1
LCM(443,627) = 277761
