Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5042,1727 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5042,1727 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 164,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5042/164,1727/311 is 1/51004
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 164,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(164,311) = ( 164 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(164,311) = 51004 / 1
LCM(164,311) = 51004
