:1,2,3,6,9,18,23,46,69,138,207,414
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 396,414 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 396,414 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83881
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/83881
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/161,414/521 is 18/83881
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 161,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,521) = ( 161 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(161,521) = 83881 / 1
LCM(161,521) = 83881
