Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2690,2878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2690,2878 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 263351
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/263351
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2690/979,2878/269 is 2/263351
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 979,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,269) = ( 979 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(979,269) = 263351 / 1
LCM(979,269) = 263351
