:1,5,1063,5315
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 145,5315 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 145,5315 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,347
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137759
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/137759
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 145/397,5315/347 is 5/137759
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 397,347 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,347) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,347) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,347) = ( 397 × 347 ) / 1
LCM(397,347) = 137759 / 1
LCM(397,347) = 137759
