Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,716 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,716 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 136,597
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/81192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/136,716/597 is 4/81192
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 136,597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,597) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,597) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(136,597) = ( 136 × 597 ) / 1
LCM(136,597) = 81192 / 1
LCM(136,597) = 81192
