1,11,541,5951
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2953,5951 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2953,5951 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 864,490
2 | 864, 490 |
432, 245 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 432 x 245 = 211680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/211680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2953/864,5951/490 is 1/211680
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 864,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(864,490) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(864,490) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(864,490) = ( 864 × 490 ) / 2
LCM(864,490) = 423360 / 2
LCM(864,490) = 211680
