Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 180,7974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 180,7974 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,8941
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7429971
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/7429971
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 180/831,7974/8941 is 18/7429971
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 831,8941 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,8941) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,8941) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,8941) = ( 831 × 8941 ) / 1
LCM(831,8941) = 7429971 / 1
LCM(831,8941) = 7429971
