Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5014,2946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5014,2946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,904
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 883208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/883208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5014/977,2946/904 is 2/883208
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 977,904 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,904) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,904) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,904) = ( 977 × 904 ) / 1
LCM(977,904) = 883208 / 1
LCM(977,904) = 883208
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
