We found the factors 4040,2970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4040,2970 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/30204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4040/36,2970/839 is 10/30204
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 36,839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,839) = ( 36 × 839 ) / 1
LCM(36,839) = 30204 / 1
LCM(36,839) = 30204
