Lets's calculate GCF of 3426,2017
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 3426
:1,2,3,6,571,1142,1713,3426
Now, list down the factors of 2017
:1,2017
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3426,2017 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3426,2017 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,1079
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 274066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/274066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3426/254,2017/1079 is 1/274066
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 254,1079 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,1079) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,1079) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(254,1079) = ( 254 × 1079 ) / 1
LCM(254,1079) = 274066 / 1
LCM(254,1079) = 274066
