Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 125,917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 125,917 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,908
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 235172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/235172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 125/259,917/908 is 1/235172
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 259,908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,908) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,908) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,908) = ( 259 × 908 ) / 1
LCM(259,908) = 235172 / 1
LCM(259,908) = 235172
