Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6997,4741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6997,4741 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 601,9438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5672238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5672238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6997/601,4741/9438 is 1/5672238
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 601,9438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,9438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,9438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,9438) = ( 601 × 9438 ) / 1
LCM(601,9438) = 5672238 / 1
LCM(601,9438) = 5672238
