Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6979,9865 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6979,9865 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,341
31 | 279, 341 |
9, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 9 x 11 = 3069
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3069
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6979/279,9865/341 is 1/3069
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 279,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,341) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,341) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(279,341) = ( 279 × 341 ) / 31
LCM(279,341) = 95139 / 31
LCM(279,341) = 3069
