Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 337,491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 337,491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,717
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30831
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30831
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/43,491/717 is 1/30831
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 43,717 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,717) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,717) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,717) = ( 43 × 717 ) / 1
LCM(43,717) = 30831 / 1
LCM(43,717) = 30831
