Now, list down the factors of 2876
:1,2,4,719,1438,2876
Now, list down the factors of 9797
:1,97,101,9797
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2876,9797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2876,9797 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2876/41,9797/996 is 1/40836
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 41,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,996) = ( 41 × 996 ) / 1
LCM(41,996) = 40836 / 1
LCM(41,996) = 40836
