Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6964,9376 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6964,9376 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 241468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/241468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6964/268,9376/901 is 4/241468
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 268,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(268,901) = ( 268 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(268,901) = 241468 / 1
LCM(268,901) = 241468
