Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1872,5736 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1872,5736 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 965,853
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 823145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/823145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1872/965,5736/853 is 24/823145
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 965,853 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(965,853) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(965,853) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(965,853) = ( 965 × 853 ) / 1
LCM(965,853) = 823145 / 1
LCM(965,853) = 823145
