Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6636,8712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6636,8712 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 834,355
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 296070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/296070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6636/834,8712/355 is 12/296070
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 834,355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(834,355) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(834,355) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(834,355) = ( 834 × 355 ) / 1
LCM(834,355) = 296070 / 1
LCM(834,355) = 296070
