:1,1979
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1912,1979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1912,1979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 452,2217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1002084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1002084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1912/452,1979/2217 is 1/1002084
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 452,2217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(452,2217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(452,2217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(452,2217) = ( 452 × 2217 ) / 1
LCM(452,2217) = 1002084 / 1
LCM(452,2217) = 1002084
