We found the factors 245,949 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,949 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,3604
2 | 52, 3604 |
2 | 26, 1802 |
13, 901 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 901 = 46852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/52,949/3604 is 1/46852
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 52,3604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,3604) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,3604) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(52,3604) = ( 52 × 3604 ) / 4
LCM(52,3604) = 187408 / 4
LCM(52,3604) = 46852
