:1,2,887,1774
Now, list down the factors of 1318
:1,2,659,1318
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1774,1318 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1774,1318 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 956,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 930188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/930188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1774/956,1318/973 is 2/930188
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 956,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,973) = ( 956 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(956,973) = 930188 / 1
LCM(956,973) = 930188
