1,13,283,3679
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2978,3679 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2978,3679 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 464,3897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1808208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1808208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2978/464,3679/3897 is 1/1808208
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 464,3897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(464,3897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(464,3897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(464,3897) = ( 464 × 3897 ) / 1
LCM(464,3897) = 1808208 / 1
LCM(464,3897) = 1808208
