Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1608,1027 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1608,1027 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 541,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 533426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/533426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1608/541,1027/986 is 1/533426
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 541,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(541,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(541,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(541,986) = ( 541 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(541,986) = 533426 / 1
LCM(541,986) = 533426
