Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8876,3640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8876,3640 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/84738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8876/87,3640/974 is 28/84738
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 87,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,974) = ( 87 × 974 ) / 1
LCM(87,974) = 84738 / 1
LCM(87,974) = 84738
