Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5844,2976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5844,2976 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,2239
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2167352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/2167352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5844/968,2976/2239 is 12/2167352
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 968,2239 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,2239) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,2239) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,2239) = ( 968 × 2239 ) / 1
LCM(968,2239) = 2167352 / 1
LCM(968,2239) = 2167352
