Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7205,5371 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7205,5371 is 131.
Lets's calculate LCM of 697,138
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 131/96186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7205/697,5371/138 is 131/96186
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 697,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(697,138) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(697,138) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(697,138) = ( 697 × 138 ) / 1
LCM(697,138) = 96186 / 1
LCM(697,138) = 96186
