Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 967,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 967,874 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,949
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 967/40,874/949 is 1/37960
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 40,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,949) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,949) = ( 40 × 949 ) / 1
LCM(40,949) = 37960 / 1
LCM(40,949) = 37960
