∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 1985
:1,5,397,1985
Now, list down the factors of 8303
:1,19,23,361,437,8303
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1985,8303 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1985,8303 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,6987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5212302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5212302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1985/746,8303/6987 is 1/5212302
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 746,6987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,6987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,6987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(746,6987) = ( 746 × 6987 ) / 1
LCM(746,6987) = 5212302 / 1
LCM(746,6987) = 5212302
