Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2222,8468 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2222,8468 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,2402
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1996062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1996062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2222/831,8468/2402 is 2/1996062
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 831,2402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,2402) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,2402) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,2402) = ( 831 × 2402 ) / 1
LCM(831,2402) = 1996062 / 1
LCM(831,2402) = 1996062
