:1,947
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 234,947 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 234,947 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,2591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/28,947/2591 is 1/72548
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 28,2591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,2591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,2591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,2591) = ( 28 × 2591 ) / 1
LCM(28,2591) = 72548 / 1
LCM(28,2591) = 72548
