Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9962,1731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9962,1731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 243,2096
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 509328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/509328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9962/243,1731/2096 is 1/509328
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 243,2096 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(243,2096) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(243,2096) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(243,2096) = ( 243 × 2096 ) / 1
LCM(243,2096) = 509328 / 1
LCM(243,2096) = 509328
