:1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 602,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 602,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,425
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/181475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 602/427,173/425 is 1/181475
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 427,425 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,425) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,425) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,425) = ( 427 × 425 ) / 1
LCM(427,425) = 181475 / 1
LCM(427,425) = 181475
