:1,3,13,23,39,69,299,897
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 163,897 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 163,897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,576
2 | 34, 576 |
17, 288 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 288 = 9792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 163/34,897/576 is 1/9792
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 34,576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,576) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,576) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,576) = ( 34 × 576 ) / 2
LCM(34,576) = 19584 / 2
LCM(34,576) = 9792
