Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8424,2488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8424,2488 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,496
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 481616
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/481616
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8424/971,2488/496 is 8/481616
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 971,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,496) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,496) = ( 971 × 496 ) / 1
LCM(971,496) = 481616 / 1
LCM(971,496) = 481616
