Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4721,5587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4721,5587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 121,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43681
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43681
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4721/121,5587/361 is 1/43681
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 121,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(121,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(121,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(121,361) = ( 121 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(121,361) = 43681 / 1
LCM(121,361) = 43681
