Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 986,939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 986,939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 7473,8978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67092594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67092594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/7473,939/8978 is 1/67092594
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 7473,8978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7473,8978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7473,8978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(7473,8978) = ( 7473 × 8978 ) / 1
LCM(7473,8978) = 67092594 / 1
LCM(7473,8978) = 67092594
