1,2,11,22,131,262,1441,2882
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3616,2882 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3616,2882 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3616/33,2882/997 is 2/32901
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 33,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,997) = ( 33 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(33,997) = 32901 / 1
LCM(33,997) = 32901
