We found the factors 362,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 362,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,7306
13 | 91, 7306 |
7, 562 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 7 x 562 = 51142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/51142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 362/91,838/7306 is 2/51142
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 91,7306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,7306) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,7306) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(91,7306) = ( 91 × 7306 ) / 13
LCM(91,7306) = 664846 / 13
LCM(91,7306) = 51142
