Lets's calculate GCF of 173,527
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 173
:1,173
Now, list down the factors of 527
:1,17,31,527
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,527 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,527 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/81,527/116 is 1/9396
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 81,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,116) = ( 81 × 116 ) / 1
LCM(81,116) = 9396 / 1
LCM(81,116) = 9396
