Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8346,5413 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8346,5413 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,842
| 421 | 421, 842 |
| 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 421 x 1 x 2 = 842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8346/421,5413/842 is 1/842
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 421,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,842) = 421
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,842) x common factors =421 x 1 = 421
LCM(421,842) = ( 421 × 842 ) / 421
LCM(421,842) = 354482 / 421
LCM(421,842) = 842
