Lets's calculate GCF of 998,971
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 998
:1,2,499,998
Now, list down the factors of 971
:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 998,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 998,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,631
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 998/14,971/631 is 1/8834
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 14,631 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,631) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,631) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,631) = ( 14 × 631 ) / 1
LCM(14,631) = 8834 / 1
LCM(14,631) = 8834
