Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9046,2991 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9046,2991 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 988,8331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8231028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8231028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9046/988,2991/8331 is 1/8231028
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 988,8331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,8331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,8331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(988,8331) = ( 988 × 8331 ) / 1
LCM(988,8331) = 8231028 / 1
LCM(988,8331) = 8231028
