We found the factors 1724,1170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1724,1170 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 549,8081
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4436469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4436469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1724/549,1170/8081 is 2/4436469
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 549,8081 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,8081) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,8081) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(549,8081) = ( 549 × 8081 ) / 1
LCM(549,8081) = 4436469 / 1
LCM(549,8081) = 4436469
