So the greatest common factor 976,887 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,2902
2 | 36, 2902 |
18, 1451 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 18 x 1451 = 52236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/36,887/2902 is 1/52236
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 36,2902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,2902) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,2902) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(36,2902) = ( 36 × 2902 ) / 2
LCM(36,2902) = 104472 / 2
LCM(36,2902) = 52236
