We found the factors 3533,1640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3533,1640 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108153
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/108153
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3533/197,1640/549 is 1/108153
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 197,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,549) = ( 197 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(197,549) = 108153 / 1
LCM(197,549) = 108153
