:1,709
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,709 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,709 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 383,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 372276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/372276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/383,709/972 is 1/372276
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 383,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(383,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(383,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(383,972) = ( 383 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(383,972) = 372276 / 1
LCM(383,972) = 372276
