Lets's calculate GCF of 403,889
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 403
:1,13,31,403
Now, list down the factors of 889
:1,7,127,889
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 403,889 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 403,889 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/74,889/971 is 1/71854
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 74,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,971) = ( 74 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(74,971) = 71854 / 1
LCM(74,971) = 71854
