Lets's calculate GCF of 163,409
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 163
:1,163
Now, list down the factors of 409
:1,409
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 163,409 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 163,409 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,1661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 163/42,409/1661 is 1/69762
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 42,1661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,1661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,1661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,1661) = ( 42 × 1661 ) / 1
LCM(42,1661) = 69762 / 1
LCM(42,1661) = 69762
