Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1491,4747 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1491,4747 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,4079
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 579218
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/579218
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1491/142,4747/4079 is 1/579218
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 142,4079 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,4079) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,4079) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,4079) = ( 142 × 4079 ) / 1
LCM(142,4079) = 579218 / 1
LCM(142,4079) = 579218
