Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3872,3960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3872,3960 is 88.
Lets's calculate LCM of 514,511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 262654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 88/262654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3872/514,3960/511 is 88/262654
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 514,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(514,511) = ( 514 × 511 ) / 1
LCM(514,511) = 262654 / 1
LCM(514,511) = 262654
