So the greatest common factor 108,304 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 168,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/42168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 108/168,304/251 is 4/42168
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 168,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(168,251) = ( 168 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(168,251) = 42168 / 1
LCM(168,251) = 42168
