:1,7,17,49,119,833
Now, list down the factors of 476
:1,2,4,7,14,17,28,34,68,119,238,476
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 833,476 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 833,476 is 119.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 119/67252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 833/172,476/391 is 119/67252
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 172,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,391) = ( 172 × 391 ) / 1
LCM(172,391) = 67252 / 1
LCM(172,391) = 67252
