Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 219,437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 219,437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148607
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/148607
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 219/173,437/859 is 1/148607
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 173,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,859) = ( 173 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(173,859) = 148607 / 1
LCM(173,859) = 148607
