The factors of 85 are 1, 5, 17, 85
The factors of 47 are 1, 47
The HCF of 85,47 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 85,47
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,4402
2 | 178, 4402 |
89, 2201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 89 x 2201 = 391778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/391778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/178,47/4402 is 1/391778
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 178,4402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,4402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,4402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(178,4402) = ( 178 × 4402 ) / 2
LCM(178,4402) = 783556 / 2
LCM(178,4402) = 391778
