Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2278,2252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2278,2252 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 976,7337
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7160912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7160912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2278/976,2252/7337 is 2/7160912
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 976,7337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,7337) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,7337) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(976,7337) = ( 976 × 7337 ) / 1
LCM(976,7337) = 7160912 / 1
LCM(976,7337) = 7160912
