Lets's calculate GCF of 697,291
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 697
:1,17,41,697
Now, list down the factors of 291
:1,3,97,291
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 697,291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 697,291 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,697
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29971
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29971
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 697/43,291/697 is 1/29971
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 43,697 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,697) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,697) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,697) = ( 43 × 697 ) / 1
LCM(43,697) = 29971 / 1
LCM(43,697) = 29971
