:1,2,4,43,86,172
Now, list down the factors of 347
:1,347
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 172,347 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 172,347 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 886,453
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401358
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/401358
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/886,347/453 is 1/401358
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 886,453 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(886,453) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(886,453) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(886,453) = ( 886 × 453 ) / 1
LCM(886,453) = 401358 / 1
LCM(886,453) = 401358
