Now, list down the factors of 6974
:1,2,11,22,317,634,3487,6974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4481,6974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4481,6974 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,1217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/189852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4481/156,6974/1217 is 1/189852
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 156,1217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,1217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(156,1217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(156,1217) = ( 156 × 1217 ) / 1
LCM(156,1217) = 189852 / 1
LCM(156,1217) = 189852
