Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9858,2985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9858,2985 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189673
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/189673
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9858/401,2985/473 is 3/189673
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 401,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,473) = ( 401 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(401,473) = 189673 / 1
LCM(401,473) = 189673
