:1,617
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 318,617 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 318,617 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,1173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71553
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71553
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 318/61,617/1173 is 1/71553
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 61,1173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,1173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,1173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,1173) = ( 61 × 1173 ) / 1
LCM(61,1173) = 71553 / 1
LCM(61,1173) = 71553
