Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 316,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 316,178 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,8528
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 162032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/162032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 316/19,178/8528 is 2/162032
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 19,8528 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,8528) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,8528) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,8528) = ( 19 × 8528 ) / 1
LCM(19,8528) = 162032 / 1
LCM(19,8528) = 162032
