Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2672,2205 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2672,2205 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172487
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172487
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2672/287,2205/601 is 1/172487
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 287,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,601) = ( 287 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(287,601) = 172487 / 1
LCM(287,601) = 172487
