Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2598,6452 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2598,6452 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2598/172,6452/101 is 2/17372
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 172,101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,101) = ( 172 × 101 ) / 1
LCM(172,101) = 17372 / 1
LCM(172,101) = 17372
