Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3557,1396 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3557,1396 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 276,261
3 | 276, 261 |
92, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 92 x 87 = 24012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3557/276,1396/261 is 1/24012
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 276,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(276,261) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(276,261) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(276,261) = ( 276 × 261 ) / 3
LCM(276,261) = 72036 / 3
LCM(276,261) = 24012
