1,3,9,67,201,603
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,603 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,603 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1152,2206
2 | 1152, 2206 |
576, 1103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 576 x 1103 = 1270656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1270656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/1152,603/2206 is 1/1270656
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 1152,2206 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1152,2206) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1152,2206) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1152,2206) = ( 1152 × 2206 ) / 2
LCM(1152,2206) = 2541312 / 2
LCM(1152,2206) = 1270656
