:1,8039
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7302,8039 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7302,8039 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,158
| 2 | 404, 158 |
| 202, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 202 x 79 = 31916
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31916
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7302/404,8039/158 is 1/31916
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 404,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,158) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,158) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(404,158) = ( 404 × 158 ) / 2
LCM(404,158) = 63832 / 2
LCM(404,158) = 31916
