:1,2203
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8397,2203 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8397,2203 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 655,1731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1133805
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1133805
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8397/655,2203/1731 is 1/1133805
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 655,1731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(655,1731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(655,1731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(655,1731) = ( 655 × 1731 ) / 1
LCM(655,1731) = 1133805 / 1
LCM(655,1731) = 1133805
