Therefore, the GCF of 71/614,173/244 is 1/74908.
To find the highest common factor of 71,173, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 71 are 1, 71
The factors of 173 are 1, 173
The HCF of 71,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,173
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 614,244
| 2 | 614, 244 |
| 307, 122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 307 x 122 = 74908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/614,173/244 is 1/74908
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 614,244 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(614,244) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(614,244) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(614,244) = ( 614 × 244 ) / 2
LCM(614,244) = 149816 / 2
LCM(614,244) = 74908
