∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 42
:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Now, list down the factors of 9212
:1,2,4,7,14,28,47,49,94,98,188,196,329,658,1316,2303,4606,9212
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,9212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,9212 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,4105
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2261855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/2261855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/551,9212/4105 is 14/2261855
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 551,4105 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,4105) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,4105) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,4105) = ( 551 × 4105 ) / 1
LCM(551,4105) = 2261855 / 1
LCM(551,4105) = 2261855
