Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 320,192 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 320,192 is 64.
Lets's calculate LCM of 168,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 64/149016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 320/168,192/887 is 64/149016
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 168,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(168,887) = ( 168 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(168,887) = 149016 / 1
LCM(168,887) = 149016
