:1,2,4,8,16,89,178,356,712,1424
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1997,1424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1997,1424 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 452,3995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1805740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1805740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1997/452,1424/3995 is 1/1805740
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 452,3995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(452,3995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(452,3995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(452,3995) = ( 452 × 3995 ) / 1
LCM(452,3995) = 1805740 / 1
LCM(452,3995) = 1805740
