1,2,4,8,421,842,1684,3368
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2946,3368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2946,3368 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2946/12,3368/943 is 2/11316
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 12,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,943) = ( 12 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(12,943) = 11316 / 1
LCM(12,943) = 11316
