Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2209,3207 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2209,3207 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168502
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168502
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2209/173,3207/974 is 1/168502
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 173,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,974) = ( 173 × 974 ) / 1
LCM(173,974) = 168502 / 1
LCM(173,974) = 168502
