1,2,4,977,1954,3908
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4002,3908 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4002,3908 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 535,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 523765
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/523765
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4002/535,3908/979 is 2/523765
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 535,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(535,979) = ( 535 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(535,979) = 523765 / 1
LCM(535,979) = 523765
