Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 933,177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 933,177 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,304
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/48944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 933/161,177/304 is 3/48944
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 161,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,304) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,304) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,304) = ( 161 × 304 ) / 1
LCM(161,304) = 48944 / 1
LCM(161,304) = 48944
