:1,5,193,965
Now, list down the factors of 3964
:1,2,4,991,1982,3964
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 965,3964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 965,3964 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,938
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 235438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/235438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 965/251,3964/938 is 1/235438
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 251,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,938) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,938) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,938) = ( 251 × 938 ) / 1
LCM(251,938) = 235438 / 1
LCM(251,938) = 235438
