Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 375,8870 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 375,8870 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,492
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/85116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/173,8870/492 is 5/85116
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 173,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,492) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,492) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,492) = ( 173 × 492 ) / 1
LCM(173,492) = 85116 / 1
LCM(173,492) = 85116
