Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4380,1212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4380,1212 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172029
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/172029
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4380/401,1212/429 is 12/172029
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 401,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,429) = ( 401 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(401,429) = 172029 / 1
LCM(401,429) = 172029
