Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1197,4755 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1197,4755 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 860,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/148780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1197/860,4755/173 is 3/148780
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 860,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(860,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(860,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(860,173) = ( 860 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(860,173) = 148780 / 1
LCM(860,173) = 148780
