We found the factors 2232,1092 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2232,1092 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,3115
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1529465
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/1529465
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2232/491,1092/3115 is 12/1529465
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 491,3115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,3115) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,3115) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,3115) = ( 491 × 3115 ) / 1
LCM(491,3115) = 1529465 / 1
LCM(491,3115) = 1529465
