:1,2,11,22,89,178,979,1958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7237,1958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7237,1958 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 505,2163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1092315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1092315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7237/505,1958/2163 is 1/1092315
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 505,2163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(505,2163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(505,2163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(505,2163) = ( 505 × 2163 ) / 1
LCM(505,2163) = 1092315 / 1
LCM(505,2163) = 1092315
