Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 378,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 378,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,9716
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/398356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/41,346/9716 is 2/398356
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 41,9716 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,9716) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,9716) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,9716) = ( 41 × 9716 ) / 1
LCM(41,9716) = 398356 / 1
LCM(41,9716) = 398356
