:1,2731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4242,2731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4242,2731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 969,4723
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4576587
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4576587
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4242/969,2731/4723 is 1/4576587
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 969,4723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(969,4723) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(969,4723) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(969,4723) = ( 969 × 4723 ) / 1
LCM(969,4723) = 4576587 / 1
LCM(969,4723) = 4576587
