Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7988,1000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7988,1000 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,6579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 861849
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/861849
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7988/131,1000/6579 is 4/861849
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 131,6579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,6579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,6579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,6579) = ( 131 × 6579 ) / 1
LCM(131,6579) = 861849 / 1
LCM(131,6579) = 861849
