Now, list down the factors of 1941
:1,3,647,1941
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5102,1941 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5102,1941 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 283,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279887
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279887
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5102/283,1941/989 is 1/279887
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 283,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(283,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(283,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(283,989) = ( 283 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(283,989) = 279887 / 1
LCM(283,989) = 279887
