Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4176,5148 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4176,5148 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,189
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52353
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/52353
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4176/277,5148/189 is 36/52353
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 277,189 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,189) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,189) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,189) = ( 277 × 189 ) / 1
LCM(277,189) = 52353 / 1
LCM(277,189) = 52353
