1,9661
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 493,9661 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 493,9661 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 912,177
3 | 912, 177 |
304, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 304 x 59 = 53808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 493/912,9661/177 is 1/53808
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 912,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(912,177) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(912,177) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(912,177) = ( 912 × 177 ) / 3
LCM(912,177) = 161424 / 3
LCM(912,177) = 53808
