Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5703,2538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5703,2538 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,2406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2350662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2350662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5703/977,2538/2406 is 3/2350662
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 977,2406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,2406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,2406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,2406) = ( 977 × 2406 ) / 1
LCM(977,2406) = 2350662 / 1
LCM(977,2406) = 2350662
