1,2,3,6,9,18,179,358,537,1074,1611,3222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1167,3222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1167,3222 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,836
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/37620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1167/45,3222/836 is 3/37620
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 45,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,836) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,836) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,836) = ( 45 × 836 ) / 1
LCM(45,836) = 37620 / 1
LCM(45,836) = 37620
