Lets's calculate GCF of 2994,1243
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2994
:1,2,3,6,499,998,1497,2994
Now, list down the factors of 1243
:1,11,113,1243
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2994,1243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2994,1243 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 412,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 400876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/400876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2994/412,1243/973 is 1/400876
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 412,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(412,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(412,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(412,973) = ( 412 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(412,973) = 400876 / 1
LCM(412,973) = 400876
