Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8177,6341 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8177,6341 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,3938
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 870298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/870298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8177/221,6341/3938 is 17/870298
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 221,3938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,3938) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,3938) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,3938) = ( 221 × 3938 ) / 1
LCM(221,3938) = 870298 / 1
LCM(221,3938) = 870298
