Now, list down the factors of 1958
:1,2,11,22,89,178,979,1958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2927,1958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2927,1958 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,2342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2274082
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2274082
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2927/971,1958/2342 is 1/2274082
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 971,2342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,2342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,2342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,2342) = ( 971 × 2342 ) / 1
LCM(971,2342) = 2274082 / 1
LCM(971,2342) = 2274082
