Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4131,8418 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4131,8418 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104533
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/104533
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4131/473,8418/221 is 3/104533
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 473,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,221) = ( 473 × 221 ) / 1
LCM(473,221) = 104533 / 1
LCM(473,221) = 104533
