:1,2,4,191,382,764
Now, list down the factors of 171
:1,3,9,19,57,171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 764,171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 764,171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,691
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 764/240,171/691 is 1/165840
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 240,691 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,691) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,691) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(240,691) = ( 240 × 691 ) / 1
LCM(240,691) = 165840 / 1
LCM(240,691) = 165840
