:1,2,4,5,10,17,20,25,34,50,68,85,100,125,170,250,340,425,500,850,1700,2125,4250,8500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5961,8500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5961,8500 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 961,2880
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2767680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2767680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5961/961,8500/2880 is 1/2767680
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 961,2880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(961,2880) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(961,2880) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(961,2880) = ( 961 × 2880 ) / 1
LCM(961,2880) = 2767680 / 1
LCM(961,2880) = 2767680
