Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 449,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 449,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 144,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 449/144,237/121 is 1/17424
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 144,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(144,121) = ( 144 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(144,121) = 17424 / 1
LCM(144,121) = 17424
