:1,2,3,6,163,326,489,978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 180,978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 180,978 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 367,572
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 209924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/209924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 180/367,978/572 is 6/209924
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 367,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(367,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(367,572) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(367,572) = ( 367 × 572 ) / 1
LCM(367,572) = 209924 / 1
LCM(367,572) = 209924
