Now, list down the factors of 431
:1,431
Now, list down the factors of 9940
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,71,140,142,284,355,497,710,994,1420,1988,2485,4970,9940
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 431,9940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 431,9940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 969,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 481593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/481593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 431/969,9940/497 is 1/481593
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 969,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(969,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(969,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(969,497) = ( 969 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(969,497) = 481593 / 1
LCM(969,497) = 481593
