:1,2,3,6,1487,2974,4461,8922
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1957,8922 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1957,8922 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,1642
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 395722
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/395722
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1957/241,8922/1642 is 1/395722
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 241,1642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,1642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,1642) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,1642) = ( 241 × 1642 ) / 1
LCM(241,1642) = 395722 / 1
LCM(241,1642) = 395722
