∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Now, list down the factors of 437
:1,19,23,437
Now, list down the factors of 171
:1,3,9,19,57,171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,171 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 194,307
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/59558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/194,171/307 is 19/59558
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 194,307 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(194,307) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(194,307) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(194,307) = ( 194 × 307 ) / 1
LCM(194,307) = 59558 / 1
LCM(194,307) = 59558
