Lets's calculate GCF of 343,785
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 343
:1,7,49,343
Now, list down the factors of 785
:1,5,157,785
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 343,785 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 343,785 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 343/72,785/661 is 1/47592
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 72,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,661) = ( 72 × 661 ) / 1
LCM(72,661) = 47592 / 1
LCM(72,661) = 47592
