Lets's calculate GCF of 2861,8662
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2861
:1,2861
Now, list down the factors of 8662
:1,2,61,71,122,142,4331,8662
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2861,8662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2861,8662 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 897,6901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6190197
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6190197
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2861/897,8662/6901 is 1/6190197
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 897,6901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,6901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,6901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(897,6901) = ( 897 × 6901 ) / 1
LCM(897,6901) = 6190197 / 1
LCM(897,6901) = 6190197
