Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 147,985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 147,985 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 671,228
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 152988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/152988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 147/671,985/228 is 1/152988
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 671,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(671,228) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(671,228) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(671,228) = ( 671 × 228 ) / 1
LCM(671,228) = 152988 / 1
LCM(671,228) = 152988
