Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 698,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 698,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/130548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 698/172,542/759 is 2/130548
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 172,759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,759) = ( 172 × 759 ) / 1
LCM(172,759) = 130548 / 1
LCM(172,759) = 130548
