:1,3,2801,8403
Now, list down the factors of 7737
:1,3,2579,7737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8403,7737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8403,7737 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 838,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 704758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/704758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8403/838,7737/841 is 3/704758
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 838,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(838,841) = ( 838 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(838,841) = 704758 / 1
LCM(838,841) = 704758
