We found the factors 1956,1488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1956,1488 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 113,7331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 828403
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/828403
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1956/113,1488/7331 is 12/828403
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 113,7331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(113,7331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(113,7331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(113,7331) = ( 113 × 7331 ) / 1
LCM(113,7331) = 828403 / 1
LCM(113,7331) = 828403
