Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 168,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 168,162 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 709,214
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151726
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/151726
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/709,162/214 is 6/151726
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 709,214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(709,214) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(709,214) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(709,214) = ( 709 × 214 ) / 1
LCM(709,214) = 151726 / 1
LCM(709,214) = 151726
