Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 176,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 176,638 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1640,2507
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4111480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/4111480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/1640,638/2507 is 22/4111480
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 1640,2507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1640,2507) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1640,2507) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1640,2507) = ( 1640 × 2507 ) / 1
LCM(1640,2507) = 4111480 / 1
LCM(1640,2507) = 4111480
