Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 867,3723 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 867,3723 is 51.
Lets's calculate LCM of 696,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 51/167736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 867/696,3723/241 is 51/167736
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 696,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(696,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(696,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(696,241) = ( 696 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(696,241) = 167736 / 1
LCM(696,241) = 167736
