Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 980,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 980,356 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,329
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58233
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/58233
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 980/177,356/329 is 4/58233
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 177,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,329) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,329) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(177,329) = ( 177 × 329 ) / 1
LCM(177,329) = 58233 / 1
LCM(177,329) = 58233
