Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 189,796 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 189,796 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,495
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/102960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 189/208,796/495 is 1/102960
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 208,495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,495) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,495) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(208,495) = ( 208 × 495 ) / 1
LCM(208,495) = 102960 / 1
LCM(208,495) = 102960
