Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5842,2276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5842,2276 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 667,2012
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1342004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1342004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5842/667,2276/2012 is 2/1342004
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 667,2012 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(667,2012) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(667,2012) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(667,2012) = ( 667 × 2012 ) / 1
LCM(667,2012) = 1342004 / 1
LCM(667,2012) = 1342004
