Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7659,9731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7659,9731 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 895,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 875310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/875310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7659/895,9731/978 is 37/875310
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 895,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(895,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(895,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(895,978) = ( 895 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(895,978) = 875310 / 1
LCM(895,978) = 875310
