Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,637 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35581
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35581
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/161,637/221 is 1/35581
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 161,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,221) = ( 161 × 221 ) / 1
LCM(161,221) = 35581 / 1
LCM(161,221) = 35581
