Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8987,8868 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8987,8868 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,2031
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1829931
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1829931
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8987/901,8868/2031 is 1/1829931
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 901,2031 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,2031) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,2031) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,2031) = ( 901 × 2031 ) / 1
LCM(901,2031) = 1829931 / 1
LCM(901,2031) = 1829931
