Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4959,2956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4959,2956 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,613
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147733
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/147733
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4959/241,2956/613 is 1/147733
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 241,613 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,613) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,613) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,613) = ( 241 × 613 ) / 1
LCM(241,613) = 147733 / 1
LCM(241,613) = 147733
