Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7296,2664 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7296,2664 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,1403
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 248331
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/248331
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7296/177,2664/1403 is 24/248331
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 177,1403 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,1403) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,1403) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(177,1403) = ( 177 × 1403 ) / 1
LCM(177,1403) = 248331 / 1
LCM(177,1403) = 248331
