Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 952,204 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 952,204 is 68.
Lets's calculate LCM of 339,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 68/60342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 952/339,204/178 is 68/60342
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 339,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(339,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(339,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(339,178) = ( 339 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(339,178) = 60342 / 1
LCM(339,178) = 60342
