Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2992,9990 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2992,9990 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,2288
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2006576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2006576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2992/877,9990/2288 is 2/2006576
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 877,2288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,2288) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,2288) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,2288) = ( 877 × 2288 ) / 1
LCM(877,2288) = 2006576 / 1
LCM(877,2288) = 2006576
