So the greatest common factor 135,306 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170681
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/170681
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 135/259,306/659 is 9/170681
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 259,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,659) = ( 259 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(259,659) = 170681 / 1
LCM(259,659) = 170681
