Lets's calculate GCF of 291,997
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 291
:1,3,97,291
Now, list down the factors of 997
:1,997
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 291,997 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 291,997 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,994
2 | 10, 994 |
5, 497 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 497 = 4970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 291/10,997/994 is 1/4970
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 10,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,994) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,994) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,994) = ( 10 × 994 ) / 2
LCM(10,994) = 9940 / 2
LCM(10,994) = 4970
