1,3,3299,9897
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 520,9897 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 520,9897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 982,1964
2 | 982, 1964 |
491 | 491, 982 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 1 x 2 = 1964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/982,9897/1964 is 1/1964
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 982,1964 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,1964) = 982
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,1964) x common factors =982 x 1 = 982
LCM(982,1964) = ( 982 × 1964 ) / 982
LCM(982,1964) = 1928648 / 982
LCM(982,1964) = 1964
