Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3865,1159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3865,1159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 981,2942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2886102
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2886102
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3865/981,1159/2942 is 1/2886102
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 981,2942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(981,2942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(981,2942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(981,2942) = ( 981 × 2942 ) / 1
LCM(981,2942) = 2886102 / 1
LCM(981,2942) = 2886102
