:1,7,101,707
Now, list down the factors of 642
:1,2,3,6,107,214,321,642
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 707,642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 707,642 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,4213
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/176946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 707/42,642/4213 is 1/176946
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 42,4213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,4213) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,4213) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,4213) = ( 42 × 4213 ) / 1
LCM(42,4213) = 176946 / 1
LCM(42,4213) = 176946
