Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 145,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 145,378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9172,7441
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 68248852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/68248852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 145/9172,378/7441 is 1/68248852
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 9172,7441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9172,7441) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9172,7441) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(9172,7441) = ( 9172 × 7441 ) / 1
LCM(9172,7441) = 68248852 / 1
LCM(9172,7441) = 68248852
