Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,678
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 88818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/88818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/131,149/678 is 1/88818
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 131,678 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,678) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,678) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,678) = ( 131 × 678 ) / 1
LCM(131,678) = 88818 / 1
LCM(131,678) = 88818
