Now, list down the factors of 971
:1,971
Now, list down the factors of 948
:1,2,3,4,6,12,79,158,237,316,474,948
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 971,948 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 971,948 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,417
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14178
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14178
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/34,948/417 is 1/14178
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 34,417 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,417) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,417) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(34,417) = ( 34 × 417 ) / 1
LCM(34,417) = 14178 / 1
LCM(34,417) = 14178
