:1,11,311,3421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7258,3421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7258,3421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 619,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 601668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/601668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7258/619,3421/972 is 1/601668
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 619,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(619,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(619,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(619,972) = ( 619 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(619,972) = 601668 / 1
LCM(619,972) = 601668
