Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8946,2377 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8946,2377 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 512,289
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/147968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8946/512,2377/289 is 1/147968
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 512,289 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,289) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,289) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(512,289) = ( 512 × 289 ) / 1
LCM(512,289) = 147968 / 1
LCM(512,289) = 147968
