Now, list down the factors of 8851
:1,53,167,8851
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1994,8851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1994,8851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,1117
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/180954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1994/162,8851/1117 is 1/180954
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 162,1117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,1117) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,1117) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(162,1117) = ( 162 × 1117 ) / 1
LCM(162,1117) = 180954 / 1
LCM(162,1117) = 180954
