Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,427 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,427 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 773,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124453
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/124453
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/773,427/161 is 1/124453
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 773,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(773,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(773,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(773,161) = ( 773 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(773,161) = 124453 / 1
LCM(773,161) = 124453
