Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8316,5596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8316,5596 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/47967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8316/177,5596/271 is 4/47967
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 177,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(177,271) = ( 177 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(177,271) = 47967 / 1
LCM(177,271) = 47967
