Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3640,7974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3640,7974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 993,880
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 873840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/873840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3640/993,7974/880 is 2/873840
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 993,880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,880) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,880) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,880) = ( 993 × 880 ) / 1
LCM(993,880) = 873840 / 1
LCM(993,880) = 873840
