:1,1997
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3200,1997 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3200,1997 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 843,5134
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4327962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4327962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3200/843,1997/5134 is 1/4327962
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 843,5134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,5134) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,5134) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(843,5134) = ( 843 × 5134 ) / 1
LCM(843,5134) = 4327962 / 1
LCM(843,5134) = 4327962
