Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3257,1966 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3257,1966 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,619
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/245743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3257/397,1966/619 is 1/245743
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 397,619 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,619) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,619) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,619) = ( 397 × 619 ) / 1
LCM(397,619) = 245743 / 1
LCM(397,619) = 245743
