Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3152,5755 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3152,5755 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 940,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3152/940,5755/179 is 1/168260
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 940,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(940,179) = ( 940 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(940,179) = 168260 / 1
LCM(940,179) = 168260
