Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6840,3516 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6840,3516 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,906
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401358
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/401358
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6840/443,3516/906 is 12/401358
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 443,906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,906) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,906) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,906) = ( 443 × 906 ) / 1
LCM(443,906) = 401358 / 1
LCM(443,906) = 401358
