So the greatest common factor 337,267 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 867,578
17 | 867, 578 |
17 | 51, 34 |
3, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 17 x 3 x 2 = 1734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/867,267/578 is 1/1734
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 867,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(867,578) = 289
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(867,578) x common factors =289 x 1 = 289
LCM(867,578) = ( 867 × 578 ) / 289
LCM(867,578) = 501126 / 289
LCM(867,578) = 1734
