Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3886,3161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3886,3161 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 790,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 182490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/182490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3886/790,3161/231 is 29/182490
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 790,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(790,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(790,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(790,231) = ( 790 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(790,231) = 182490 / 1
LCM(790,231) = 182490
