:1,2,3,6,7,14,19,21,38,42,57,114,133,266,399,798
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 126,798 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 126,798 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19023
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/19023
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 126/51,798/373 is 42/19023
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 51,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,373) = ( 51 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(51,373) = 19023 / 1
LCM(51,373) = 19023
