Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 145,3544 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 145,3544 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,6982
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1543022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1543022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 145/221,3544/6982 is 1/1543022
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 221,6982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,6982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,6982) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,6982) = ( 221 × 6982 ) / 1
LCM(221,6982) = 1543022 / 1
LCM(221,6982) = 1543022
