Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4524,8712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4524,8712 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,2197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 393263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/393263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4524/179,8712/2197 is 12/393263
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 179,2197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,2197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,2197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,2197) = ( 179 × 2197 ) / 1
LCM(179,2197) = 393263 / 1
LCM(179,2197) = 393263
