So the greatest common factor 158,869 is 79.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,834
2 | 118, 834 |
59, 417 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 417 = 49206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 79/49206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/118,869/834 is 79/49206
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 118,834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,834) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,834) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(118,834) = ( 118 × 834 ) / 2
LCM(118,834) = 98412 / 2
LCM(118,834) = 49206
