1,13,257,3341
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3442,3341 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3442,3341 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 806,972
2 | 806, 972 |
403, 486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 403 x 486 = 391716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/391716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3442/806,3341/972 is 1/391716
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 806,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(806,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(806,972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(806,972) = ( 806 × 972 ) / 2
LCM(806,972) = 783432 / 2
LCM(806,972) = 391716
