Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 576,579 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 576,579 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13983
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/13983
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 576/79,579/177 is 3/13983
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 79,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,177) = ( 79 × 177 ) / 1
LCM(79,177) = 13983 / 1
LCM(79,177) = 13983
