So the greatest common factor 161,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/57,971/188 is 1/10716
Least Common Multiple of 57,188 with GCF Formula
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 57,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,188) = ( 57 × 188 ) / 1
LCM(57,188) = 10716 / 1
LCM(57,188) = 10716
