Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 893,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 893,959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 436,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/70196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 893/436,959/161 is 1/70196
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 436,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(436,161) = ( 436 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(436,161) = 70196 / 1
LCM(436,161) = 70196
