Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3731,5940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3731,5940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,854
2 | 884, 854 |
442, 427 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 442 x 427 = 377468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/377468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3731/884,5940/854 is 1/377468
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 884,854 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,854) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,854) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(884,854) = ( 884 × 854 ) / 2
LCM(884,854) = 754936 / 2
LCM(884,854) = 377468
