Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1977,1618 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1977,1618 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 937,4606
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4315822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4315822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1977/937,1618/4606 is 1/4315822
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 937,4606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,4606) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,4606) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,4606) = ( 937 × 4606 ) / 1
LCM(937,4606) = 4315822 / 1
LCM(937,4606) = 4315822
