Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2002,8972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2002,8972 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 230,9833
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2261590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2261590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2002/230,8972/9833 is 2/2261590
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 230,9833 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(230,9833) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(230,9833) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(230,9833) = ( 230 × 9833 ) / 1
LCM(230,9833) = 2261590 / 1
LCM(230,9833) = 2261590
