Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6918,7118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6918,7118 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,141
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127041
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/127041
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6918/901,7118/141 is 2/127041
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 901,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,141) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,141) = ( 901 × 141 ) / 1
LCM(901,141) = 127041 / 1
LCM(901,141) = 127041
