:1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 540,970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 540,970 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14091
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/14091
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/33,970/427 is 10/14091
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 33,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,427) = ( 33 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(33,427) = 14091 / 1
LCM(33,427) = 14091
