:1,2,4,1783,3566,7132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 172,7132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 172,7132 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 593,917
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 543781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/543781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/593,7132/917 is 4/543781
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 593,917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(593,917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(593,917) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(593,917) = ( 593 × 917 ) / 1
LCM(593,917) = 543781 / 1
LCM(593,917) = 543781
