Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7957,1940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7957,1940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,424
2 | 84, 424 |
2 | 42, 212 |
21, 106 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 21 x 106 = 8904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7957/84,1940/424 is 1/8904
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 84,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,424) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,424) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(84,424) = ( 84 × 424 ) / 4
LCM(84,424) = 35616 / 4
LCM(84,424) = 8904
