:1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 171,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 171,638 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,617
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 288756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/288756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 171/468,638/617 is 1/288756
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 468,617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,617) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(468,617) = ( 468 × 617 ) / 1
LCM(468,617) = 288756 / 1
LCM(468,617) = 288756
