Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 768,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 768,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 617,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365881
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/365881
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 768/617,159/593 is 3/365881
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 617,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(617,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(617,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(617,593) = ( 617 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(617,593) = 365881 / 1
LCM(617,593) = 365881
