Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7224,8501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7224,8501 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,7497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2279088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2279088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7224/304,8501/7497 is 1/2279088
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 304,7497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,7497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,7497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(304,7497) = ( 304 × 7497 ) / 1
LCM(304,7497) = 2279088 / 1
LCM(304,7497) = 2279088
