Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6985,3322 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6985,3322 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,403
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/198276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6985/492,3322/403 is 11/198276
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 492,403 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,403) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,403) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(492,403) = ( 492 × 403 ) / 1
LCM(492,403) = 198276 / 1
LCM(492,403) = 198276
