Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3996,1573 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3996,1573 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,1967
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 503552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/503552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3996/256,1573/1967 is 1/503552
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 256,1967 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,1967) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,1967) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,1967) = ( 256 × 1967 ) / 1
LCM(256,1967) = 503552 / 1
LCM(256,1967) = 503552
