∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 5418
:1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,43,63,86,126,129,258,301,387,602,774,903,1806,2709,5418
Now, list down the factors of 3711
:1,3,1237,3711
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5418,3711 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5418,3711 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,486
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 340686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/340686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5418/701,3711/486 is 3/340686
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 701,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,486) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,486) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,486) = ( 701 × 486 ) / 1
LCM(701,486) = 340686 / 1
LCM(701,486) = 340686
