Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3726,2481 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3726,2481 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 853,392
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 334376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/334376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3726/853,2481/392 is 3/334376
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 853,392 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,392) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,392) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,392) = ( 853 × 392 ) / 1
LCM(853,392) = 334376 / 1
LCM(853,392) = 334376
