Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5173,9072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5173,9072 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 317,1156
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 366452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/366452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5173/317,9072/1156 is 7/366452
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 317,1156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,1156) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,1156) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,1156) = ( 317 × 1156 ) / 1
LCM(317,1156) = 366452 / 1
LCM(317,1156) = 366452
