Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3984,9840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3984,9840 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 967,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250453
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/250453
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3984/967,9840/259 is 48/250453
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 967,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(967,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(967,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(967,259) = ( 967 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(967,259) = 250453 / 1
LCM(967,259) = 250453
