Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5172,4776 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5172,4776 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 181,911
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 164891
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/164891
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5172/181,4776/911 is 12/164891
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 181,911 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,911) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(181,911) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(181,911) = ( 181 × 911 ) / 1
LCM(181,911) = 164891 / 1
LCM(181,911) = 164891
