Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 882,962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,962 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 481461
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/481461
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/501,962/961 is 2/481461
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 501,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,961) = ( 501 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(501,961) = 481461 / 1
LCM(501,961) = 481461
