Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9118,2526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9118,2526 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12191
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12191
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9118/73,2526/167 is 2/12191
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 73,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,167) = ( 73 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(73,167) = 12191 / 1
LCM(73,167) = 12191
