Lets's calculate GCF of 1981,5156
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 1981
:1,7,283,1981
Now, list down the factors of 5156
:1,2,4,1289,2578,5156
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1981,5156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1981,5156 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,2053
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1318026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1318026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1981/642,5156/2053 is 1/1318026
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 642,2053 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,2053) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,2053) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(642,2053) = ( 642 × 2053 ) / 1
LCM(642,2053) = 1318026 / 1
LCM(642,2053) = 1318026
