:1,2,59,118
Now, list down the factors of 199
:1,199
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,199 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,199 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/173,199/185 is 1/32005
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 173,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,185) = ( 173 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(173,185) = 32005 / 1
LCM(173,185) = 32005
