So the greatest common factor 971,486 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,3434
2 | 24, 3434 |
12, 1717 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 12 x 1717 = 41208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/24,486/3434 is 1/41208
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 24,3434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,3434) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,3434) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(24,3434) = ( 24 × 3434 ) / 2
LCM(24,3434) = 82416 / 2
LCM(24,3434) = 41208
