Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 357,797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 357,797 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,291
3 | 372, 291 |
124, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 124 x 97 = 36084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/372,797/291 is 1/36084
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 372,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(372,291) = ( 372 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(372,291) = 108252 / 3
LCM(372,291) = 36084
