Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1048,5578 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1048,5578 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,3931
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3844518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3844518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1048/978,5578/3931 is 2/3844518
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 978,3931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,3931) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,3931) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(978,3931) = ( 978 × 3931 ) / 1
LCM(978,3931) = 3844518 / 1
LCM(978,3931) = 3844518
