We found the factors 1879,9749 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1879,9749 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 106978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/106978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1879/178,9749/601 is 1/106978
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 178,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,601) = ( 178 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(178,601) = 106978 / 1
LCM(178,601) = 106978
