Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 537,9063 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 537,9063 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,184
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 77464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/77464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/421,9063/184 is 3/77464
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 421,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,184) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,184) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,184) = ( 421 × 184 ) / 1
LCM(421,184) = 77464 / 1
LCM(421,184) = 77464
