Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3602,5401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3602,5401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,201
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43617
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43617
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3602/217,5401/201 is 1/43617
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 217,201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,201) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,201) = ( 217 × 201 ) / 1
LCM(217,201) = 43617 / 1
LCM(217,201) = 43617
