Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1978,1132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1978,1132 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 719,503
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 361657
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/361657
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1978/719,1132/503 is 2/361657
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 719,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(719,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(719,503) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(719,503) = ( 719 × 503 ) / 1
LCM(719,503) = 361657 / 1
LCM(719,503) = 361657
