:1,7,29,47,203,329,1363,9541
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 987,9541 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 987,9541 is 329.
Lets's calculate LCM of 353,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52597
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 329/52597
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 987/353,9541/149 is 329/52597
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 353,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(353,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(353,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(353,149) = ( 353 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(353,149) = 52597 / 1
LCM(353,149) = 52597
