Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 297,337 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 297,337 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 693,224
7 | 693, 224 |
99, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 99 x 32 = 22176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 297/693,337/224 is 1/22176
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 693,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(693,224) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(693,224) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(693,224) = ( 693 × 224 ) / 7
LCM(693,224) = 155232 / 7
LCM(693,224) = 22176
