Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 980,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 980,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22629
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/22629
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 980/57,958/397 is 2/22629
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 57,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,397) = ( 57 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(57,397) = 22629 / 1
LCM(57,397) = 22629
