Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4676,2004 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4676,2004 is 668.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 790856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 668/790856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4676/968,2004/817 is 668/790856
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 968,817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,817) = ( 968 × 817 ) / 1
LCM(968,817) = 790856 / 1
LCM(968,817) = 790856
