Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 385,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 385,987 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 176,909
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/159984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/176,987/909 is 7/159984
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 176,909 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,909) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,909) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(176,909) = ( 176 × 909 ) / 1
LCM(176,909) = 159984 / 1
LCM(176,909) = 159984
