So the greatest common factor 158,984 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,4192
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/11,984/4192 is 2/46112
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 11,4192 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,4192) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,4192) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,4192) = ( 11 × 4192 ) / 1
LCM(11,4192) = 46112 / 1
LCM(11,4192) = 46112
