Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2781,3375 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2781,3375 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,2573
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 661261
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/661261
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2781/257,3375/2573 is 27/661261
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 257,2573 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,2573) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,2573) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,2573) = ( 257 × 2573 ) / 1
LCM(257,2573) = 661261 / 1
LCM(257,2573) = 661261
