Lets's calculate GCF of 1977,1563
3 | 1977, 1563 |
659, 521 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 1977
:1,3,659,1977
Now, list down the factors of 1563
:1,3,521,1563
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1977,1563 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1977,1563 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 656,4077
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2674512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2674512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1977/656,1563/4077 is 3/2674512
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 656,4077 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,4077) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,4077) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(656,4077) = ( 656 × 4077 ) / 1
LCM(656,4077) = 2674512 / 1
LCM(656,4077) = 2674512
