Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3956,2739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3956,2739 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 561,2879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1615119
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1615119
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3956/561,2739/2879 is 1/1615119
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 561,2879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(561,2879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(561,2879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(561,2879) = ( 561 × 2879 ) / 1
LCM(561,2879) = 1615119 / 1
LCM(561,2879) = 1615119
