Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5945,8542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5945,8542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 874,893
19 | 874, 893 |
46, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 46 x 47 = 41078
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41078
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5945/874,8542/893 is 1/41078
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 874,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,893) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,893) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(874,893) = ( 874 × 893 ) / 19
LCM(874,893) = 780482 / 19
LCM(874,893) = 41078
