Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6917,4221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6917,4221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,180
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6917/359,4221/180 is 1/64620
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 359,180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,180) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,180) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,180) = ( 359 × 180 ) / 1
LCM(359,180) = 64620 / 1
LCM(359,180) = 64620
