Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1006,1736 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1006,1736 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,3008
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2499648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2499648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1006/831,1736/3008 is 2/2499648
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 831,3008 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,3008) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,3008) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,3008) = ( 831 × 3008 ) / 1
LCM(831,3008) = 2499648 / 1
LCM(831,3008) = 2499648
