Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 246,857 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 246,857 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 997,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 297106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/297106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/997,857/298 is 1/297106
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 997,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,298) = ( 997 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(997,298) = 297106 / 1
LCM(997,298) = 297106
