Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 835,2138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 835,2138 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 475,7431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3529725
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3529725
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 835/475,2138/7431 is 1/3529725
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 475,7431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,7431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,7431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,7431) = ( 475 × 7431 ) / 1
LCM(475,7431) = 3529725 / 1
LCM(475,7431) = 3529725
