Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2946,1660 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2946,1660 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 863,107
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92341
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/92341
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2946/863,1660/107 is 2/92341
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 863,107 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(863,107) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(863,107) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(863,107) = ( 863 × 107 ) / 1
LCM(863,107) = 92341 / 1
LCM(863,107) = 92341
