We found the factors 5917,2953 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5917,2953 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 448,301
7 | 448, 301 |
64, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 64 x 43 = 19264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5917/448,2953/301 is 1/19264
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 448,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(448,301) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(448,301) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(448,301) = ( 448 × 301 ) / 7
LCM(448,301) = 134848 / 7
LCM(448,301) = 19264
