1,3,1759,5277
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,5277 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,5277 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,1428
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1415148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1415148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/991,5277/1428 is 3/1415148
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 991,1428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,1428) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,1428) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,1428) = ( 991 × 1428 ) / 1
LCM(991,1428) = 1415148 / 1
LCM(991,1428) = 1415148
