We found the factors 8488,4320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8488,4320 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 793,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 337818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/337818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8488/793,4320/426 is 8/337818
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 793,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(793,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(793,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(793,426) = ( 793 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(793,426) = 337818 / 1
LCM(793,426) = 337818
