Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1587,4384 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1587,4384 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,3152
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 545296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/545296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1587/173,4384/3152 is 1/545296
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 173,3152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,3152) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,3152) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,3152) = ( 173 × 3152 ) / 1
LCM(173,3152) = 545296 / 1
LCM(173,3152) = 545296
