Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 334,571 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 334,571 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,6991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/293622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 334/42,571/6991 is 1/293622
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 42,6991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,6991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,6991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,6991) = ( 42 × 6991 ) / 1
LCM(42,6991) = 293622 / 1
LCM(42,6991) = 293622
