We found the factors 1104,9968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1104,9968 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 99443
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/99443
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1104/277,9968/359 is 16/99443
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 277,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,359) = ( 277 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(277,359) = 99443 / 1
LCM(277,359) = 99443
