Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 514,579 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 514,579 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 514/173,579/442 is 1/76466
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 173,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,442) = ( 173 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(173,442) = 76466 / 1
LCM(173,442) = 76466
