Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7973,1588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7973,1588 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 119,915
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/108885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7973/119,1588/915 is 1/108885
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 119,915 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(119,915) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(119,915) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(119,915) = ( 119 × 915 ) / 1
LCM(119,915) = 108885 / 1
LCM(119,915) = 108885
