Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,3788 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,3788 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 862,9661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8327782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8327782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/862,3788/9661 is 4/8327782
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 862,9661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,9661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,9661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(862,9661) = ( 862 × 9661 ) / 1
LCM(862,9661) = 8327782 / 1
LCM(862,9661) = 8327782
