1,2,3,4,6,9,12,17,18,34,36,51,68,102,153,204,306,612
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 723,612 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 723,612 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 666,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 664002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/664002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 723/666,612/997 is 3/664002
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 666,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(666,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(666,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(666,997) = ( 666 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(666,997) = 664002 / 1
LCM(666,997) = 664002
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
