Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 444,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 444,556 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 811,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145169
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/145169
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/811,556/179 is 4/145169
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 811,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(811,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(811,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(811,179) = ( 811 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(811,179) = 145169 / 1
LCM(811,179) = 145169
