Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1979,6087 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1979,6087 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 153258
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/153258
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1979/861,6087/178 is 1/153258
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 861,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,178) = ( 861 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(861,178) = 153258 / 1
LCM(861,178) = 153258
