1,3,7,21,151,453,1057,3171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5507,3171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5507,3171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 247,293
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72371
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72371
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5507/247,3171/293 is 1/72371
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 247,293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(247,293) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(247,293) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(247,293) = ( 247 × 293 ) / 1
LCM(247,293) = 72371 / 1
LCM(247,293) = 72371
