We found the factors 972,4128 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 972,4128 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 652,571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 372292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/372292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 972/652,4128/571 is 12/372292
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 652,571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(652,571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(652,571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(652,571) = ( 652 × 571 ) / 1
LCM(652,571) = 372292 / 1
LCM(652,571) = 372292
