Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8308,8524 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8308,8524 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 841,1738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1461658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1461658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8308/841,8524/1738 is 4/1461658
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 841,1738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(841,1738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(841,1738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(841,1738) = ( 841 × 1738 ) / 1
LCM(841,1738) = 1461658 / 1
LCM(841,1738) = 1461658
