:1,3,9,27,113,339,1017,3051
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2538,3051 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2538,3051 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,9323
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3766492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/3766492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2538/404,3051/9323 is 27/3766492
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 404,9323 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,9323) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,9323) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(404,9323) = ( 404 × 9323 ) / 1
LCM(404,9323) = 3766492 / 1
LCM(404,9323) = 3766492
