So the greatest common factor 4406,1242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 180,3689
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 664020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/664020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4406/180,1242/3689 is 2/664020
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 180,3689 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(180,3689) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(180,3689) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(180,3689) = ( 180 × 3689 ) / 1
LCM(180,3689) = 664020 / 1
LCM(180,3689) = 664020
