Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 483,1978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 483,1978 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 962,835
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 803270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/803270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 483/962,1978/835 is 23/803270
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 962,835 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,835) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,835) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(962,835) = ( 962 × 835 ) / 1
LCM(962,835) = 803270 / 1
LCM(962,835) = 803270
