Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9946,2861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9946,2861 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,2707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 424999
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/424999
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9946/157,2861/2707 is 1/424999
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 157,2707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,2707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,2707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,2707) = ( 157 × 2707 ) / 1
LCM(157,2707) = 424999 / 1
LCM(157,2707) = 424999
