So the greatest common factor 2712,3597 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 330171
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/330171
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2712/701,3597/471 is 3/330171
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 701,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,471) = ( 701 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(701,471) = 330171 / 1
LCM(701,471) = 330171
