Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7979,7248 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7979,7248 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,404
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/398748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7979/987,7248/404 is 1/398748
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 987,404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,404) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,404) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,404) = ( 987 × 404 ) / 1
LCM(987,404) = 398748 / 1
LCM(987,404) = 398748
