Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 728,3981 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 728,3981 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,3915
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3801465
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3801465
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/971,3981/3915 is 1/3801465
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 971,3915 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,3915) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,3915) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,3915) = ( 971 × 3915 ) / 1
LCM(971,3915) = 3801465 / 1
LCM(971,3915) = 3801465
