1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 876,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 876,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1276,8374
2 | 1276, 8374 |
638, 4187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 638 x 4187 = 5342612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5342612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/1276,971/8374 is 1/5342612
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 1276,8374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1276,8374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1276,8374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1276,8374) = ( 1276 × 8374 ) / 2
LCM(1276,8374) = 10685224 / 2
LCM(1276,8374) = 5342612
