Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3491,4357 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3491,4357 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 372350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/372350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3491/550,4357/677 is 1/372350
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 550,677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(550,677) = ( 550 × 677 ) / 1
LCM(550,677) = 372350 / 1
LCM(550,677) = 372350
