We found the factors 3712,6984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3712,6984 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 653,1818
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1187154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1187154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3712/653,6984/1818 is 8/1187154
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 653,1818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(653,1818) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(653,1818) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(653,1818) = ( 653 × 1818 ) / 1
LCM(653,1818) = 1187154 / 1
LCM(653,1818) = 1187154
