Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3842,2712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3842,2712 is 226.
Lets's calculate LCM of 481,316
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 226/151996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3842/481,2712/316 is 226/151996
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 481,316 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,316) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,316) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,316) = ( 481 × 316 ) / 1
LCM(481,316) = 151996 / 1
LCM(481,316) = 151996
