Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6426,4074 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6426,4074 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6519
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/6519
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6426/41,4074/159 is 42/6519
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 41,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,159) = ( 41 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(41,159) = 6519 / 1
LCM(41,159) = 6519
