Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 138,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 138,959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,155
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35805
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35805
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 138/231,959/155 is 1/35805
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 231,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,155) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,155) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,155) = ( 231 × 155 ) / 1
LCM(231,155) = 35805 / 1
LCM(231,155) = 35805
