Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2901,7428 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2901,7428 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,504
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/280728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2901/557,7428/504 is 3/280728
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 557,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,504) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,504) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,504) = ( 557 × 504 ) / 1
LCM(557,504) = 280728 / 1
LCM(557,504) = 280728
