Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7140,1494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7140,1494 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 839,3601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3021239
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/3021239
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7140/839,1494/3601 is 6/3021239
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 839,3601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(839,3601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(839,3601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(839,3601) = ( 839 × 3601 ) / 1
LCM(839,3601) = 3021239 / 1
LCM(839,3601) = 3021239
