Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 179,469 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 179,469 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,602
2 | 26, 602 |
13, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 301 = 7826
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7826
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/26,469/602 is 1/7826
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 26,602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,602) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,602) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,602) = ( 26 × 602 ) / 2
LCM(26,602) = 15652 / 2
LCM(26,602) = 7826
