Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7221,6296 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7221,6296 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,297
11 | 440, 297 |
40, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 40 x 27 = 11880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7221/440,6296/297 is 1/11880
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 440,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,297) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,297) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(440,297) = ( 440 × 297 ) / 11
LCM(440,297) = 130680 / 11
LCM(440,297) = 11880
