Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3523,3871 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3523,3871 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,9615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1509555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1509555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3523/157,3871/9615 is 1/1509555
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 157,9615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,9615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,9615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,9615) = ( 157 × 9615 ) / 1
LCM(157,9615) = 1509555 / 1
LCM(157,9615) = 1509555
