Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 638,319 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 638,319 is 319.
Lets's calculate LCM of 677,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 319/120506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 638/677,319/178 is 319/120506
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 677,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(677,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(677,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(677,178) = ( 677 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(677,178) = 120506 / 1
LCM(677,178) = 120506
