:1,3,1201,3603
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7254,3603 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7254,3603 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 357,1226
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 437682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/437682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7254/357,3603/1226 is 3/437682
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 357,1226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,1226) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,1226) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(357,1226) = ( 357 × 1226 ) / 1
LCM(357,1226) = 437682 / 1
LCM(357,1226) = 437682
