Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2384,5440 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2384,5440 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,2945
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2850760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/2850760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2384/968,5440/2945 is 16/2850760
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 968,2945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,2945) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,2945) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,2945) = ( 968 × 2945 ) / 1
LCM(968,2945) = 2850760 / 1
LCM(968,2945) = 2850760
