We found the factors 4398,2322 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4398,2322 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/238280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4398/280,2322/851 is 6/238280
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 280,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(280,851) = ( 280 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(280,851) = 238280 / 1
LCM(280,851) = 238280
