Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3914,1956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3914,1956 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 519,638
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 331122
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/331122
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3914/519,1956/638 is 2/331122
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 519,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(519,638) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(519,638) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(519,638) = ( 519 × 638 ) / 1
LCM(519,638) = 331122 / 1
LCM(519,638) = 331122
