:1,61,163,9943
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1402,9943 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1402,9943 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 163,438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1402/163,9943/438 is 1/71394
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 163,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,438) = ( 163 × 438 ) / 1
LCM(163,438) = 71394 / 1
LCM(163,438) = 71394
