Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4477,7541 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4477,7541 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4477/378,7541/179 is 1/67662
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 378,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(378,179) = ( 378 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(378,179) = 67662 / 1
LCM(378,179) = 67662
