Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 498,384 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 498,384 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,2141
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/87781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 498/41,384/2141 is 6/87781
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 41,2141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,2141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,2141) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,2141) = ( 41 × 2141 ) / 1
LCM(41,2141) = 87781 / 1
LCM(41,2141) = 87781
