Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3875,1870 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3875,1870 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 931,291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 270921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/270921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3875/931,1870/291 is 5/270921
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 931,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(931,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(931,291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(931,291) = ( 931 × 291 ) / 1
LCM(931,291) = 270921 / 1
LCM(931,291) = 270921
