Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 971,1170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 971,1170 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,7097
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1994257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1994257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/281,1170/7097 is 1/1994257
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 281,7097 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,7097) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,7097) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,7097) = ( 281 × 7097 ) / 1
LCM(281,7097) = 1994257 / 1
LCM(281,7097) = 1994257
