Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 659,369
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243171
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/243171
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/659,217/369 is 1/243171
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 659,369 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,369) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,369) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,369) = ( 659 × 369 ) / 1
LCM(659,369) = 243171 / 1
LCM(659,369) = 243171
