Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7059,8475 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7059,8475 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 524340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/524340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7059/540,8475/971 is 3/524340
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 540,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(540,971) = ( 540 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(540,971) = 524340 / 1
LCM(540,971) = 524340
