Lets's calculate GCF of 985,257
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 985
:1,5,197,985
Now, list down the factors of 257
:1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 985,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 985,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,967
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/61888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/64,257/967 is 1/61888
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 64,967 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,967) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,967) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,967) = ( 64 × 967 ) / 1
LCM(64,967) = 61888 / 1
LCM(64,967) = 61888
