Lets's calculate GCF of 5873,8491
7 | 5873, 8491 |
839, 1213 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 5873
:1,7,839,5873
Now, list down the factors of 8491
:1,7,1213,8491
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5873,8491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5873,8491 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,818
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 712478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/712478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5873/871,8491/818 is 7/712478
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 871,818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,818) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,818) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,818) = ( 871 × 818 ) / 1
LCM(871,818) = 712478 / 1
LCM(871,818) = 712478
