Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2918,7964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2918,7964 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,863
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2918/35,7964/863 is 2/30205
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 35,863 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,863) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,863) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,863) = ( 35 × 863 ) / 1
LCM(35,863) = 30205 / 1
LCM(35,863) = 30205
