:1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 601,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 601,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 239,788
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/188332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/239,173/788 is 1/188332
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 239,788 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(239,788) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(239,788) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(239,788) = ( 239 × 788 ) / 1
LCM(239,788) = 188332 / 1
LCM(239,788) = 188332
