So the greatest common factor 161,378 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,8837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 618590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/618590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/70,378/8837 is 7/618590
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 70,8837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,8837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,8837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,8837) = ( 70 × 8837 ) / 1
LCM(70,8837) = 618590 / 1
LCM(70,8837) = 618590
