Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 416,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 416,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,4027
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84567
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/84567
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/21,974/4027 is 2/84567
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 21,4027 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,4027) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,4027) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,4027) = ( 21 × 4027 ) / 1
LCM(21,4027) = 84567 / 1
LCM(21,4027) = 84567
