Lets's calculate GCF of 473,297
11 | 473, 297 |
43, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Now, list down the factors of 473
:1,11,43,473
Now, list down the factors of 297
:1,3,9,11,27,33,99,297
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 473,297 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 473,297 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 837,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315549
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/315549
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 473/837,297/377 is 11/315549
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 837,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,377) = ( 837 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(837,377) = 315549 / 1
LCM(837,377) = 315549
