Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3487,3757 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3487,3757 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 337,771
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 259827
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/259827
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3487/337,3757/771 is 1/259827
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 337,771 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(337,771) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(337,771) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(337,771) = ( 337 × 771 ) / 1
LCM(337,771) = 259827 / 1
LCM(337,771) = 259827
