:1,2,4,991,1982,3964
Now, list down the factors of 1018
:1,2,509,1018
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3964,1018 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3964,1018 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 392,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/390040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3964/392,1018/995 is 2/390040
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 392,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(392,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(392,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(392,995) = ( 392 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(392,995) = 390040 / 1
LCM(392,995) = 390040
