Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 701,395 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 701,395 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,161
7 | 217, 161 |
31, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 31 x 23 = 4991
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4991
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 701/217,395/161 is 1/4991
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 217,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,161) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,161) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(217,161) = ( 217 × 161 ) / 7
LCM(217,161) = 34937 / 7
LCM(217,161) = 4991
