1,1997
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2791,1997 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2791,1997 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 956,8542
2 | 956, 8542 |
478, 4271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 478 x 4271 = 4083076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4083076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2791/956,1997/8542 is 1/4083076
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 956,8542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,8542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,8542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(956,8542) = ( 956 × 8542 ) / 2
LCM(956,8542) = 8166152 / 2
LCM(956,8542) = 4083076
