Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3541,4869 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3541,4869 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 743,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 733341
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/733341
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3541/743,4869/987 is 1/733341
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 743,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,987) = ( 743 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(743,987) = 733341 / 1
LCM(743,987) = 733341
