Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5420,2909 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5420,2909 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,755
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 356360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/356360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5420/472,2909/755 is 1/356360
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 472,755 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,755) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,755) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,755) = ( 472 × 755 ) / 1
LCM(472,755) = 356360 / 1
LCM(472,755) = 356360
