Now, list down the factors of 857
:1,857
Now, list down the factors of 663
:1,3,13,17,39,51,221,663
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 857,663 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 857,663 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 857/54,663/179 is 1/9666
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 54,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(54,179) = ( 54 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(54,179) = 9666 / 1
LCM(54,179) = 9666
