Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 169,979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 169,979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,769
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/167642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 169/218,979/769 is 1/167642
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 218,769 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,769) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,769) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(218,769) = ( 218 × 769 ) / 1
LCM(218,769) = 167642 / 1
LCM(218,769) = 167642
