Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 195,1049 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 195,1049 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,578
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149702
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149702
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 195/259,1049/578 is 1/149702
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 259,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,578) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,578) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,578) = ( 259 × 578 ) / 1
LCM(259,578) = 149702 / 1
LCM(259,578) = 149702
