Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3246,8752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3246,8752 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 417163
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/417163
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3246/901,8752/463 is 2/417163
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 901,463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,463) = ( 901 × 463 ) / 1
LCM(901,463) = 417163 / 1
LCM(901,463) = 417163
