Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1548,1041 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1548,1041 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 838,955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 800290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/800290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1548/838,1041/955 is 3/800290
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 838,955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(838,955) = ( 838 × 955 ) / 1
LCM(838,955) = 800290 / 1
LCM(838,955) = 800290
