Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 976,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 976,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,962
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/83694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/87,958/962 is 2/83694
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 87,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,962) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,962) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,962) = ( 87 × 962 ) / 1
LCM(87,962) = 83694 / 1
LCM(87,962) = 83694
