Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2232,6108 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2232,6108 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 599,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103627
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/103627
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2232/599,6108/173 is 12/103627
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 599,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(599,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(599,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(599,173) = ( 599 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(599,173) = 103627 / 1
LCM(599,173) = 103627
