1,9941
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2888,9941 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2888,9941 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 514,638
2 | 514, 638 |
257, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 257 x 319 = 163966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/163966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2888/514,9941/638 is 1/163966
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 514,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(514,638) = ( 514 × 638 ) / 2
LCM(514,638) = 327932 / 2
LCM(514,638) = 163966
