Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,3752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,3752 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 389,2917
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1134713
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/1134713
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/389,3752/2917 is 28/1134713
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 389,2917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,2917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,2917) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,2917) = ( 389 × 2917 ) / 1
LCM(389,2917) = 1134713 / 1
LCM(389,2917) = 1134713
