So the greatest common factor 7271,3542 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 356,2667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 949452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/949452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7271/356,3542/2667 is 11/949452
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 356,2667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,2667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(356,2667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(356,2667) = ( 356 × 2667 ) / 1
LCM(356,2667) = 949452 / 1
LCM(356,2667) = 949452
