Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2276,5279 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2276,5279 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18079
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18079
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2276/101,5279/179 is 1/18079
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 101,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,179) = ( 101 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(101,179) = 18079 / 1
LCM(101,179) = 18079
