Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,4436 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,4436 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 532,687
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/365484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/532,4436/687 is 4/365484
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 532,687 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,687) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,687) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(532,687) = ( 532 × 687 ) / 1
LCM(532,687) = 365484 / 1
LCM(532,687) = 365484
