Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8940,2940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8940,2940 is 60.
Lets's calculate LCM of 441,4268
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1882188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 60/1882188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8940/441,2940/4268 is 60/1882188
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 441,4268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(441,4268) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(441,4268) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(441,4268) = ( 441 × 4268 ) / 1
LCM(441,4268) = 1882188 / 1
LCM(441,4268) = 1882188
