Lets's calculate GCF of 18,31
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 18
:1,2,3,6,9,18
Now, list down the factors of 31
:1,31
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,31 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,31 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 688,7937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5460656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5460656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/688,31/7937 is 1/5460656
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 688,7937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,7937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,7937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(688,7937) = ( 688 × 7937 ) / 1
LCM(688,7937) = 5460656 / 1
LCM(688,7937) = 5460656
