Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8724,7543 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8724,7543 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 420,101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8724/420,7543/101 is 1/42420
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 420,101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(420,101) = ( 420 × 101 ) / 1
LCM(420,101) = 42420 / 1
LCM(420,101) = 42420
