:1,17,47,799
Now, list down the factors of 859
:1,859
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 799,859 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 799,859 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 799/172,859/121 is 1/20812
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 172,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,121) = ( 172 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(172,121) = 20812 / 1
LCM(172,121) = 20812
