Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 117,473 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 117,473 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118013
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118013
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/161,473/733 is 1/118013
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 161,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,733) = ( 161 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(161,733) = 118013 / 1
LCM(161,733) = 118013
