1,2,3,6,307,614,921,1842
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1131,1842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1131,1842 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,3761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 605521
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/605521
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1131/161,1842/3761 is 3/605521
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 161,3761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,3761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,3761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,3761) = ( 161 × 3761 ) / 1
LCM(161,3761) = 605521 / 1
LCM(161,3761) = 605521
