:1,2,3,6,157,314,471,942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 942,942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 942,942 is 942.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1424,7461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10624464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 942/10624464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 942/1424,942/7461 is 942/10624464
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 1424,7461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1424,7461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1424,7461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1424,7461) = ( 1424 × 7461 ) / 1
LCM(1424,7461) = 10624464 / 1
LCM(1424,7461) = 10624464
