Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3939,5929 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3939,5929 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 422,990
2 | 422, 990 |
211, 495 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 211 x 495 = 208890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/208890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3939/422,5929/990 is 1/208890
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 422,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(422,990) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(422,990) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(422,990) = ( 422 × 990 ) / 2
LCM(422,990) = 417780 / 2
LCM(422,990) = 208890
