So the greatest common factor 120,569 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 993,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/155901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/993,569/157 is 1/155901
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 993,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,157) = ( 993 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(993,157) = 155901 / 1
LCM(993,157) = 155901
