Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8991,7952 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8991,7952 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46207
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46207
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8991/49,7952/943 is 1/46207
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 49,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,943) = ( 49 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(49,943) = 46207 / 1
LCM(49,943) = 46207
