We found the factors 983,1761 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 983,1761 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 950,358
2 | 950, 358 |
475, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 475 x 179 = 170050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/170050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 983/950,1761/358 is 1/170050
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 950,358 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(950,358) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(950,358) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(950,358) = ( 950 × 358 ) / 2
LCM(950,358) = 340100 / 2
LCM(950,358) = 170050
