:1,2,3,6,331,662,993,1986
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 960,1986 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 960,1986 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 411,5908
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2428188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2428188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/411,1986/5908 is 6/2428188
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 411,5908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(411,5908) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(411,5908) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(411,5908) = ( 411 × 5908 ) / 1
LCM(411,5908) = 2428188 / 1
LCM(411,5908) = 2428188
