Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7678,2178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7678,2178 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 469,5338
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2503522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/2503522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7678/469,2178/5338 is 22/2503522
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 469,5338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(469,5338) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(469,5338) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(469,5338) = ( 469 × 5338 ) / 1
LCM(469,5338) = 2503522 / 1
LCM(469,5338) = 2503522
