:1,2203
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3552,2203 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3552,2203 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,409
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/399593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3552/977,2203/409 is 1/399593
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 977,409 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,409) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,409) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,409) = ( 977 × 409 ) / 1
LCM(977,409) = 399593 / 1
LCM(977,409) = 399593
