Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 401,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 401,168 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3986,4026
2 | 3986, 4026 |
1993, 2013 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 1993 x 2013 = 8023818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8023818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/3986,168/4026 is 1/8023818
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 3986,4026 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3986,4026) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3986,4026) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(3986,4026) = ( 3986 × 4026 ) / 2
LCM(3986,4026) = 16047636 / 2
LCM(3986,4026) = 8023818
