Now, list down the factors of 974
:1,2,487,974
Now, list down the factors of 971
:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 974,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 974,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,519
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50862
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/50862
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/98,971/519 is 1/50862
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 98,519 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,519) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,519) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,519) = ( 98 × 519 ) / 1
LCM(98,519) = 50862 / 1
LCM(98,519) = 50862
