:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,83,84,166,249,332,498,581,996,1162,1743,2324,3486,6972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4533,6972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4533,6972 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 461,2319
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1069059
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1069059
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4533/461,6972/2319 is 3/1069059
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 461,2319 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(461,2319) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(461,2319) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(461,2319) = ( 461 × 2319 ) / 1
LCM(461,2319) = 1069059 / 1
LCM(461,2319) = 1069059
