Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,5851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,5851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 749,156
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/749,5851/156 is 1/116844
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 749,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,156) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,156) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,156) = ( 749 × 156 ) / 1
LCM(749,156) = 116844 / 1
LCM(749,156) = 116844
