Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3042,6249 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3042,6249 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,814
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 790394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/790394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3042/971,6249/814 is 3/790394
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 971,814 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,814) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,814) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,814) = ( 971 × 814 ) / 1
LCM(971,814) = 790394 / 1
LCM(971,814) = 790394
