Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 939,491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 939,491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,205
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 939/38,491/205 is 1/7790
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 38,205 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,205) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,205) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,205) = ( 38 × 205 ) / 1
LCM(38,205) = 7790 / 1
LCM(38,205) = 7790
