Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 448,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 448,168 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,664
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/113544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/171,168/664 is 56/113544
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 171,664 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,664) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,664) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,664) = ( 171 × 664 ) / 1
LCM(171,664) = 113544 / 1
LCM(171,664) = 113544
