Now, list down the factors of 283
:1,283
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 283,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 283,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,893
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 283/78,172/893 is 1/69654
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 78,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,893) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,893) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,893) = ( 78 × 893 ) / 1
LCM(78,893) = 69654 / 1
LCM(78,893) = 69654
