Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5034,1980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5034,1980 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,979
11 | 22, 979 |
2, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 2 x 89 = 1958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5034/22,1980/979 is 6/1958
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 22,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,979) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,979) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(22,979) = ( 22 × 979 ) / 11
LCM(22,979) = 21538 / 11
LCM(22,979) = 1958
