Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,377 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,377 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,203
7 | 406, 203 |
29 | 58, 29 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 29 x 2 x 1 = 406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/406,377/203 is 1/406
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 406,203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,203) = 203
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,203) x common factors =203 x 1 = 203
LCM(406,203) = ( 406 × 203 ) / 203
LCM(406,203) = 82418 / 203
LCM(406,203) = 406
