We found the factors 117,295 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 117,295 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,628
157 | 157, 628 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 157 x 1 x 4 = 628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/157,295/628 is 1/628
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 157,628 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,628) = 157
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,628) x common factors =157 x 1 = 157
LCM(157,628) = ( 157 × 628 ) / 157
LCM(157,628) = 98596 / 157
LCM(157,628) = 628
