Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7152,2252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7152,2252 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,9281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2078944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2078944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7152/224,2252/9281 is 4/2078944
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 224,9281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,9281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,9281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,9281) = ( 224 × 9281 ) / 1
LCM(224,9281) = 2078944 / 1
LCM(224,9281) = 2078944
