:1,3,2207,6621
Now, list down the factors of 1997
:1,1997
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6621,1997 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6621,1997 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 155,100
5 | 155, 100 |
31, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 31 x 20 = 3100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6621/155,1997/100 is 1/3100
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 155,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(155,100) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(155,100) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(155,100) = ( 155 × 100 ) / 5
LCM(155,100) = 15500 / 5
LCM(155,100) = 3100
