Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 178,7004 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 178,7004 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 411,177
3 | 411, 177 |
137, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 137 x 59 = 24249
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24249
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/411,7004/177 is 2/24249
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 411,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(411,177) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(411,177) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(411,177) = ( 411 × 177 ) / 3
LCM(411,177) = 72747 / 3
LCM(411,177) = 24249
