Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9997,4078 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9997,4078 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,949
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 940459
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/940459
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9997/991,4078/949 is 1/940459
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 991,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,949) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,949) = ( 991 × 949 ) / 1
LCM(991,949) = 940459 / 1
LCM(991,949) = 940459
