So the greatest common factor 601,638 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 167,843
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 140781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/140781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/167,638/843 is 1/140781
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 167,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,843) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,843) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,843) = ( 167 × 843 ) / 1
LCM(167,843) = 140781 / 1
LCM(167,843) = 140781
