∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Now, list down the factors of 206
:1,2,103,206
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,206 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,206 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 53652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/68,206/789 is 2/53652
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 68,789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,789) = ( 68 × 789 ) / 1
LCM(68,789) = 53652 / 1
LCM(68,789) = 53652
