Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 625,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 625,974 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 625/16,974/217 is 1/3472
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 16,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,217) = ( 16 × 217 ) / 1
LCM(16,217) = 3472 / 1
LCM(16,217) = 3472
