:1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 672,970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 672,970 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 347,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 252269
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/252269
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/347,970/727 is 2/252269
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 347,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(347,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(347,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(347,727) = ( 347 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(347,727) = 252269 / 1
LCM(347,727) = 252269
