Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5985,6867 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5985,6867 is 63.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,927
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 897336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 63/897336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5985/968,6867/927 is 63/897336
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 968,927 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,927) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,927) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,927) = ( 968 × 927 ) / 1
LCM(968,927) = 897336 / 1
LCM(968,927) = 897336
