We found the factors 7242,8507 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7242,8507 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 335,1308
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 438180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/438180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7242/335,8507/1308 is 1/438180
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 335,1308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(335,1308) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(335,1308) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(335,1308) = ( 335 × 1308 ) / 1
LCM(335,1308) = 438180 / 1
LCM(335,1308) = 438180
