So the greatest common factor 156,558 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 294,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/69090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/294,558/235 is 6/69090
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 294,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(294,235) = ( 294 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(294,235) = 69090 / 1
LCM(294,235) = 69090
