Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 416,871 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 416,871 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,177
3 | 72, 177 |
24, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 24 x 59 = 4248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/4248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/72,871/177 is 13/4248
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 72,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,177) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,177) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(72,177) = ( 72 × 177 ) / 3
LCM(72,177) = 12744 / 3
LCM(72,177) = 4248
