:1,23,127,2921
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1953,2921 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1953,2921 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 856,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 403176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/403176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1953/856,2921/471 is 1/403176
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 856,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(856,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(856,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(856,471) = ( 856 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(856,471) = 403176 / 1
LCM(856,471) = 403176
