Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6537,7739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6537,7739 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207317
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/207317
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6537/517,7739/401 is 1/207317
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 517,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,401) = ( 517 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(517,401) = 207317 / 1
LCM(517,401) = 207317
