:1,2,4,563,1126,2252
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4750,2252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4750,2252 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,723
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/85314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4750/118,2252/723 is 2/85314
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 118,723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,723) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,723) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(118,723) = ( 118 × 723 ) / 1
LCM(118,723) = 85314 / 1
LCM(118,723) = 85314
