Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2076,2376 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2076,2376 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 297,602
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/178794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2076/297,2376/602 is 12/178794
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 297,602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,602) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,602) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(297,602) = ( 297 × 602 ) / 1
LCM(297,602) = 178794 / 1
LCM(297,602) = 178794
