Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5201,2217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5201,2217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,1702
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 335294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/335294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5201/197,2217/1702 is 1/335294
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 197,1702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,1702) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,1702) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,1702) = ( 197 × 1702 ) / 1
LCM(197,1702) = 335294 / 1
LCM(197,1702) = 335294
