:1,43,47,2021
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2982,2021 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2982,2021 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 533,988
13 | 533, 988 |
41, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 41 x 76 = 40508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2982/533,2021/988 is 1/40508
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 533,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(533,988) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(533,988) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(533,988) = ( 533 × 988 ) / 13
LCM(533,988) = 526604 / 13
LCM(533,988) = 40508
