Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 629,5202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 629,5202 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,201
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/35778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 629/178,5202/201 is 17/35778
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 178,201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,201) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,201) = ( 178 × 201 ) / 1
LCM(178,201) = 35778 / 1
LCM(178,201) = 35778
