Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 660,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 660,246 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8505
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/8505
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/35,246/243 is 6/8505
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 35,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,243) = ( 35 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(35,243) = 8505 / 1
LCM(35,243) = 8505
