Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 135,330 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 135,330 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/47564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 135/188,330/253 is 15/47564
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 188,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(188,253) = ( 188 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(188,253) = 47564 / 1
LCM(188,253) = 47564
