We found the factors 2957,1637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2957,1637 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 594,700
2 | 594, 700 |
297, 350 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 297 x 350 = 207900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/207900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2957/594,1637/700 is 1/207900
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 594,700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(594,700) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(594,700) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(594,700) = ( 594 × 700 ) / 2
LCM(594,700) = 415800 / 2
LCM(594,700) = 207900
