Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2578,9042 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2578,9042 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 454,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 345494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/345494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2578/454,9042/761 is 2/345494
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 454,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(454,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(454,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(454,761) = ( 454 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(454,761) = 345494 / 1
LCM(454,761) = 345494
