Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6737,1009 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6737,1009 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 673,5942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3998966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3998966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6737/673,1009/5942 is 1/3998966
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 673,5942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(673,5942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(673,5942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(673,5942) = ( 673 × 5942 ) / 1
LCM(673,5942) = 3998966 / 1
LCM(673,5942) = 3998966
