Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 561,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 561,221 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9884,7057
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69751388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/69751388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 561/9884,221/7057 is 17/69751388
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 9884,7057 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9884,7057) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9884,7057) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(9884,7057) = ( 9884 × 7057 ) / 1
LCM(9884,7057) = 69751388 / 1
LCM(9884,7057) = 69751388
