Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8400,1588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8400,1588 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/167634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8400/278,1588/603 is 4/167634
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 278,603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,603) = ( 278 × 603 ) / 1
LCM(278,603) = 167634 / 1
LCM(278,603) = 167634
