Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5178,3752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5178,3752 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,175
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5178/404,3752/175 is 2/70700
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 404,175 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,175) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,175) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(404,175) = ( 404 × 175 ) / 1
LCM(404,175) = 70700 / 1
LCM(404,175) = 70700
