Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3771,1155 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3771,1155 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 198,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/46134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3771/198,1155/233 is 3/46134
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 198,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(198,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(198,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(198,233) = ( 198 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(198,233) = 46134 / 1
LCM(198,233) = 46134
