Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3136,2072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3136,2072 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 418,553
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/231154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3136/418,2072/553 is 56/231154
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 418,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(418,553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(418,553) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(418,553) = ( 418 × 553 ) / 1
LCM(418,553) = 231154 / 1
LCM(418,553) = 231154
