Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3957,5295 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3957,5295 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 966,897
3 | 966, 897 |
23 | 322, 299 |
14, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 14 x 13 = 12558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/12558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3957/966,5295/897 is 3/12558
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 966,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,897) = 69
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,897) x common factors =69 x 1 = 69
LCM(966,897) = ( 966 × 897 ) / 69
LCM(966,897) = 866502 / 69
LCM(966,897) = 12558
