We found the factors 2002,4740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2002,4740 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,3922
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3478814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3478814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2002/887,4740/3922 is 2/3478814
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 887,3922 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,3922) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,3922) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,3922) = ( 887 × 3922 ) / 1
LCM(887,3922) = 3478814 / 1
LCM(887,3922) = 3478814
