Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3174,1016 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3174,1016 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 819,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 784602
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/784602
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3174/819,1016/958 is 2/784602
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 819,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(819,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(819,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(819,958) = ( 819 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(819,958) = 784602 / 1
LCM(819,958) = 784602
