Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 733,177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 733,177 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,597
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 201786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/201786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 733/338,177/597 is 1/201786
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 338,597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,597) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,597) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(338,597) = ( 338 × 597 ) / 1
LCM(338,597) = 201786 / 1
LCM(338,597) = 201786
