:1,181
Now, list down the factors of 873
:1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 181,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 181,873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,712
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/198648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 181/279,873/712 is 1/198648
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 279,712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,712) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,712) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,712) = ( 279 × 712 ) / 1
LCM(279,712) = 198648 / 1
LCM(279,712) = 198648
