Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,581 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,581 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,939
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74181
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74181
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/79,581/939 is 1/74181
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 79,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,939) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,939) = ( 79 × 939 ) / 1
LCM(79,939) = 74181 / 1
LCM(79,939) = 74181
