Lets's calculate GCF of 5884,1731
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 5884
:1,2,4,1471,2942,5884
Now, list down the factors of 1731
:1,3,577,1731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5884,1731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5884,1731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 469,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 420693
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/420693
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5884/469,1731/897 is 1/420693
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 469,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(469,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(469,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(469,897) = ( 469 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(469,897) = 420693 / 1
LCM(469,897) = 420693
