Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 168,217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 168,217 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,8981
7 | 77, 8981 |
11, 1283 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 11 x 1283 = 98791
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/98791
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/77,217/8981 is 7/98791
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 77,8981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,8981) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,8981) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(77,8981) = ( 77 × 8981 ) / 7
LCM(77,8981) = 691537 / 7
LCM(77,8981) = 98791
