Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9972,9389 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9972,9389 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 146,4003
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 584438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/584438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9972/146,9389/4003 is 1/584438
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 146,4003 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,4003) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,4003) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(146,4003) = ( 146 × 4003 ) / 1
LCM(146,4003) = 584438 / 1
LCM(146,4003) = 584438
