1,3,9,27,53,159,477,1431
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8997,1431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8997,1431 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 203,4546
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 922838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/922838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8997/203,1431/4546 is 3/922838
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 203,4546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,4546) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,4546) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(203,4546) = ( 203 × 4546 ) / 1
LCM(203,4546) = 922838 / 1
LCM(203,4546) = 922838
