Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 685,177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 685,177 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 734,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137258
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/137258
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 685/734,177/187 is 1/137258
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 734,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(734,187) = ( 734 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(734,187) = 137258 / 1
LCM(734,187) = 137258
