Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 204,578 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 204,578 is 34.
Lets's calculate LCM of 122,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 106506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/106506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/122,578/873 is 34/106506
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 122,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(122,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(122,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(122,873) = ( 122 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(122,873) = 106506 / 1
LCM(122,873) = 106506
