Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 937,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 937,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,797
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/223160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 937/280,971/797 is 1/223160
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 280,797 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,797) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,797) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(280,797) = ( 280 × 797 ) / 1
LCM(280,797) = 223160 / 1
LCM(280,797) = 223160
