Lets's calculate GCF of 167,404
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 167
:1,167
Now, list down the factors of 404
:1,2,4,101,202,404
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 167,404 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 167,404 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 364,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 167/364,404/197 is 1/71708
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 364,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(364,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(364,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(364,197) = ( 364 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(364,197) = 71708 / 1
LCM(364,197) = 71708
