We found the factors 5082,2940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5082,2940 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 604,7391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4464164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/4464164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5082/604,2940/7391 is 42/4464164
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 604,7391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(604,7391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(604,7391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(604,7391) = ( 604 × 7391 ) / 1
LCM(604,7391) = 4464164 / 1
LCM(604,7391) = 4464164
