Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2960,1237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2960,1237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 843,1652
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1392636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1392636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2960/843,1237/1652 is 1/1392636
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 843,1652 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,1652) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,1652) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(843,1652) = ( 843 × 1652 ) / 1
LCM(843,1652) = 1392636 / 1
LCM(843,1652) = 1392636
