Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 592,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 592,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,158
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/27018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 592/171,346/158 is 2/27018
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 171,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,158) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,158) = ( 171 × 158 ) / 1
LCM(171,158) = 27018 / 1
LCM(171,158) = 27018
