Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2974,4332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2974,4332 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 823,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 788434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/788434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2974/823,4332/958 is 2/788434
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 823,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(823,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(823,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(823,958) = ( 823 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(823,958) = 788434 / 1
LCM(823,958) = 788434
