1,7,421,2947
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3297,2947 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3297,2947 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 209,999
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 208791
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/208791
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3297/209,2947/999 is 7/208791
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 209,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(209,999) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(209,999) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(209,999) = ( 209 × 999 ) / 1
LCM(209,999) = 208791 / 1
LCM(209,999) = 208791
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
