Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4394,3870 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4394,3870 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4394/237,3870/500 is 2/118500
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 237,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,500) = ( 237 × 500 ) / 1
LCM(237,500) = 118500 / 1
LCM(237,500) = 118500
