We found the factors 1697,5242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1697,5242 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 782,165
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/129030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1697/782,5242/165 is 1/129030
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 782,165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(782,165) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(782,165) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(782,165) = ( 782 × 165 ) / 1
LCM(782,165) = 129030 / 1
LCM(782,165) = 129030
