Now, list down the factors of 357
:1,3,7,17,21,51,119,357
Now, list down the factors of 344
:1,2,4,8,43,86,172,344
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 357,344 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 357,344 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,607
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/47,344/607 is 1/28529
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 47,607 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,607) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,607) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,607) = ( 47 × 607 ) / 1
LCM(47,607) = 28529 / 1
LCM(47,607) = 28529
