| 2 | 3870, 3994 |
| 1935, 1997 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 3870
:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,43,45,86,90,129,215,258,387,430,645,774,1290,1935,3870
Now, list down the factors of 3994
:1,2,1997,3994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3870,3994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3870,3994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,802
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3870/43,3994/802 is 2/34486
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 43,802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,802) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,802) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,802) = ( 43 × 802 ) / 1
LCM(43,802) = 34486 / 1
LCM(43,802) = 34486
