Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 128,896 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 128,896 is 128.
Lets's calculate LCM of 184,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 128/102488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/184,896/557 is 128/102488
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 184,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(184,557) = ( 184 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(184,557) = 102488 / 1
LCM(184,557) = 102488
