Lets's calculate GCF of 166,251
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 166
:1,2,83,166
Now, list down the factors of 251
:1,251
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 166,251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 166,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,474
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/59,251/474 is 1/27966
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 59,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,474) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,474) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,474) = ( 59 × 474 ) / 1
LCM(59,474) = 27966 / 1
LCM(59,474) = 27966
