:1,3,7,21,101,303,707,2121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7323,2121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7323,2121 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/63206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7323/338,2121/187 is 3/63206
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 338,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(338,187) = ( 338 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(338,187) = 63206 / 1
LCM(338,187) = 63206
