Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3600,7970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3600,7970 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/237112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3600/277,7970/856 is 10/237112
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 277,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,856) = ( 277 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(277,856) = 237112 / 1
LCM(277,856) = 237112
