Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5892,4188 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5892,4188 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 164,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/51988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5892/164,4188/317 is 12/51988
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 164,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(164,317) = ( 164 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(164,317) = 51988 / 1
LCM(164,317) = 51988
