Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8727,9891 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8727,9891 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,1981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1963171
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1963171
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8727/991,9891/1981 is 3/1963171
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 991,1981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,1981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,1981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,1981) = ( 991 × 1981 ) / 1
LCM(991,1981) = 1963171 / 1
LCM(991,1981) = 1963171
