:1,3,179,537
Now, list down the factors of 310
:1,2,5,10,31,62,155,310
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 537,310 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 537,310 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,711
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/122292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/172,310/711 is 1/122292
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 172,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,711) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,711) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,711) = ( 172 × 711 ) / 1
LCM(172,711) = 122292 / 1
LCM(172,711) = 122292
