:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60,157,314,471,628,785,942,1570,1884,2355,3140,4710,9420
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3708,9420 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3708,9420 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 381,455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173355
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/173355
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3708/381,9420/455 is 12/173355
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 381,455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(381,455) = ( 381 × 455 ) / 1
LCM(381,455) = 173355 / 1
LCM(381,455) = 173355
