Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 502,9360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,9360 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96747
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/96747
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/271,9360/357 is 2/96747
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 271,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,357) = ( 271 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(271,357) = 96747 / 1
LCM(271,357) = 96747
