1,3,9,27,163,489,1467,4401
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6231,4401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6231,4401 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,569
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 97299
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/97299
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6231/171,4401/569 is 3/97299
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 171,569 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,569) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,569) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,569) = ( 171 × 569 ) / 1
LCM(171,569) = 97299 / 1
LCM(171,569) = 97299
