Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7494,5056 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7494,5056 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,2759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 695268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/695268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7494/252,5056/2759 is 2/695268
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 252,2759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,2759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,2759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(252,2759) = ( 252 × 2759 ) / 1
LCM(252,2759) = 695268 / 1
LCM(252,2759) = 695268
