Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4398,8538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4398,8538 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 955,286
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 273130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/273130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4398/955,8538/286 is 6/273130
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 955,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(955,286) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(955,286) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(955,286) = ( 955 × 286 ) / 1
LCM(955,286) = 273130 / 1
LCM(955,286) = 273130
