So the greatest common factor 4467,3318 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,5989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5737462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5737462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4467/958,3318/5989 is 3/5737462
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 958,5989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,5989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,5989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(958,5989) = ( 958 × 5989 ) / 1
LCM(958,5989) = 5737462 / 1
LCM(958,5989) = 5737462
