So the greatest common factor 16,843,524 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,207,109
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8957511
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8957511
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/397,843/207,524/109 is 1/8957511
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 397,207,109 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,207,109) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,207,109) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,207,109) = ( 397 × 207 × 109 ) / 1
LCM(397,207,109) = 8957511 / 1
LCM(397,207,109) = 8957511
