Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 177,583 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 177,583 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 948,949
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 899652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/899652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/948,583/949 is 1/899652
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 948,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,949) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(948,949) = ( 948 × 949 ) / 1
LCM(948,949) = 899652 / 1
LCM(948,949) = 899652
