We found the factors 2879,3491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2879,3491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 931,2962
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2757622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2757622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2879/931,3491/2962 is 1/2757622
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 931,2962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(931,2962) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(931,2962) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(931,2962) = ( 931 × 2962 ) / 1
LCM(931,2962) = 2757622 / 1
LCM(931,2962) = 2757622
