Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6537,3528 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6537,3528 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 363,239
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86757
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/86757
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6537/363,3528/239 is 3/86757
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 363,239 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(363,239) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(363,239) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(363,239) = ( 363 × 239 ) / 1
LCM(363,239) = 86757 / 1
LCM(363,239) = 86757
