So the greatest common factor 104,318 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 772,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/138188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 104/772,318/179 is 2/138188
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 772,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(772,179) = ( 772 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(772,179) = 138188 / 1
LCM(772,179) = 138188
