We found the factors 137,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,649
11 | 968, 649 |
88, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 88 x 59 = 57112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/57112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/968,159/649 is 1/57112
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 968,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,649) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,649) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(968,649) = ( 968 × 649 ) / 11
LCM(968,649) = 628232 / 11
LCM(968,649) = 57112
