Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9601,4602 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9601,4602 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,1861
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 703458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/703458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9601/378,4602/1861 is 1/703458
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 378,1861 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,1861) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,1861) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(378,1861) = ( 378 × 1861 ) / 1
LCM(378,1861) = 703458 / 1
LCM(378,1861) = 703458
