Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 520,787 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 520,787 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 983,163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160229
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/160229
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/983,787/163 is 1/160229
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 983,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(983,163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(983,163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(983,163) = ( 983 × 163 ) / 1
LCM(983,163) = 160229 / 1
LCM(983,163) = 160229
