Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 978,9578 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 978,9578 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 107,837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/89559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 978/107,9578/837 is 2/89559
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 107,837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(107,837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(107,837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(107,837) = ( 107 × 837 ) / 1
LCM(107,837) = 89559 / 1
LCM(107,837) = 89559
