:1,2,7,11,13,14,22,26,77,91,143,154,182,286,1001,2002
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8526,2002 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8526,2002 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 257481
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/257481
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8526/603,2002/427 is 14/257481
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 603,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,427) = ( 603 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(603,427) = 257481 / 1
LCM(603,427) = 257481
