:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 364,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 364,168 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181101
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/181101
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 364/201,168/901 is 28/181101
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 201,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(201,901) = ( 201 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(201,901) = 181101 / 1
LCM(201,901) = 181101
