We found the factors 7640,5438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7640,5438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 244,8703
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2123532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2123532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7640/244,5438/8703 is 2/2123532
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 244,8703 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,8703) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,8703) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(244,8703) = ( 244 × 8703 ) / 1
LCM(244,8703) = 2123532 / 1
LCM(244,8703) = 2123532
