Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 784,8932 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 784,8932 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19435
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/19435
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 784/115,8932/169 is 28/19435
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 115,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(115,169) = ( 115 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(115,169) = 19435 / 1
LCM(115,169) = 19435
