Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6740,6746 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6740,6746 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 335,4051
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1357085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1357085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6740/335,6746/4051 is 2/1357085
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 335,4051 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(335,4051) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(335,4051) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(335,4051) = ( 335 × 4051 ) / 1
LCM(335,4051) = 1357085 / 1
LCM(335,4051) = 1357085
