1,167
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 494,167 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 494,167 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9276,1722
2 | 9276, 1722 |
3 | 4638, 861 |
1546, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 1546 x 287 = 2662212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2662212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/9276,167/1722 is 1/2662212
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 9276,1722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9276,1722) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9276,1722) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(9276,1722) = ( 9276 × 1722 ) / 6
LCM(9276,1722) = 15973272 / 6
LCM(9276,1722) = 2662212
