Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2516,2354 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2516,2354 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 316597
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/316597
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2516/877,2354/361 is 2/316597
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 877,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,361) = ( 877 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(877,361) = 316597 / 1
LCM(877,361) = 316597
