:1,7,109,763
Now, list down the factors of 436
:1,2,4,109,218,436
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 763,436 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 763,436 is 109.
Lets's calculate LCM of 167,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 163493
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 109/163493
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 763/167,436/979 is 109/163493
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 167,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,979) = ( 167 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(167,979) = 163493 / 1
LCM(167,979) = 163493
