Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2948,5971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2948,5971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187167
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187167
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2948/701,5971/267 is 1/187167
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 701,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,267) = ( 701 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(701,267) = 187167 / 1
LCM(701,267) = 187167
