1,31,271,8401
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5502,8401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5502,8401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 315,637
7 | 315, 637 |
45, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 45 x 91 = 28665
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28665
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5502/315,8401/637 is 1/28665
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 315,637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,637) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,637) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(315,637) = ( 315 × 637 ) / 7
LCM(315,637) = 200655 / 7
LCM(315,637) = 28665
