Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9958,1985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9958,1985 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 836,678
2 | 836, 678 |
418, 339 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 418 x 339 = 283404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/283404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9958/836,1985/678 is 1/283404
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 836,678 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,678) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,678) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(836,678) = ( 836 × 678 ) / 2
LCM(836,678) = 566808 / 2
LCM(836,678) = 283404
