Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4331,2942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4331,2942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,7560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3182760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3182760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4331/421,2942/7560 is 1/3182760
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 421,7560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,7560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,7560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,7560) = ( 421 × 7560 ) / 1
LCM(421,7560) = 3182760 / 1
LCM(421,7560) = 3182760
