Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2521,7457 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2521,7457 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,3557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 576234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/576234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2521/162,7457/3557 is 1/576234
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 162,3557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,3557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,3557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(162,3557) = ( 162 × 3557 ) / 1
LCM(162,3557) = 576234 / 1
LCM(162,3557) = 576234
