Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 712,2336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 712,2336 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 297,1259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 373923
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/373923
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/297,2336/1259 is 8/373923
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 297,1259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,1259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,1259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(297,1259) = ( 297 × 1259 ) / 1
LCM(297,1259) = 373923 / 1
LCM(297,1259) = 373923
