Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3822,4043 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3822,4043 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/149586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3822/642,4043/233 is 13/149586
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 642,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(642,233) = ( 642 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(642,233) = 149586 / 1
LCM(642,233) = 149586
