Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3497,3504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3497,3504 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,3056
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 705936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/705936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3497/231,3504/3056 is 1/705936
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 231,3056 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,3056) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,3056) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,3056) = ( 231 × 3056 ) / 1
LCM(231,3056) = 705936 / 1
LCM(231,3056) = 705936
